Su'skol Vineyard

2006 Napa Valley Chardonnay

Hess Su'skol Vineyard 2006 Chardonnay is a delightful expression of Napa Valley's renowned winemaking heritage. This full-bodied white wine showcases a luxurious mouthfeel, complemented by bright acidity that enlivens the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of ripe stone fruit and crisp citrus, which harmoniously dance on the tongue. Subtle oak aging imparts gentle nuances of vanilla and toast, creating a well-rounded experience that is both sophisticated and approachable. As a dry wine, it pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, from seafood to creamy pastas, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.

Napa Valley

Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.
