Unoaked

2011 Los Carneros Chardonnay

The Martin Ray Unoaked Chardonnay from the 2011 vintage showcases the vibrant character of the Los Carneros region. This wine presents a light-bodied profile with a refreshing acidity that enlivens the palate, offering an invigorating experience. Its fruit intensity is prominent, with delightful notes of green apple, citrus, and hints of pear that dance gracefully on the tongue. The absence of oak influences allows the pure expression of the grape to shine, resulting in a clean and crisp finish that is dry yet satisfying. Ideal for warm days and food pairings, this wine is truly a celebration of its terroir, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a bright and lively white.

Region:

Napa County

It may be small, but when it comes to American wine regions, they do not come much bigger than Napa County. Home to the famous Napa Valley, which comprises most of its area, the Napa name has gained global recognition for its exceptional wines—especially its Bordeaux varieties. Most Napa County wineries choose to be more location-specific when labeling their wine, listing the name of sub-regions like Yountville, Los Carneros or Rutherford to capitalize on the name recognition. However, with such an abundance of high-quality grapes grown across the region, plenty of négociant winemakers blend fruit from different sub-regions. This gives Napa County wines excellent regional balance, taking advantage of different terroirs and mesoclimates.
