It was Claire's birthday and we were all in the wine store so we got her a bottle. This is a refined and very balanced Chardonnay. Not strong on oak nor overly fruity. Chards in this price range (around $40) are a treat for me!
Notes from the winery: Our 2004 Napa Valley Chardonnay offers fresh, lovely pear and ripe Granny Smith apple aromas with supporting mineral, baked bread and baking spice scents. Full and richly textured on the palate, the citrusy crisp, spiced-apple and pear flavors are enriched by yeast and toasty oak tones that extend into a very long, rich, minerally finish. Youthfully compact, with superb structure and an ideal balance of fresh fruit, acid and wood tones.
