2010 California Chardonnay

Robert Mondavi Private Selection Special Collection Chardonnay from the 2010 vintage showcases the best qualities of California’s winegrowing potential. This white wine is medium-bodied with a well-balanced profile, offering a refreshing touch of bright acidity that complements its fruit-forward character. The wine bursts with prominent notes of ripe stone fruits, like peach and apricot, intertwined with subtle hints of vanilla and oak derived from careful aging. Its dryness adds a crisp elegance that makes it incredibly food-friendly, perfect for pairing with seafood or light pasta dishes. The overall impression is one of harmony, elegance, and a delightful expression of California's Chardonnay prowess.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
