Piña Cellars
Low Vineyard Chardonnay
Oak Knoll, Napa Valley, California, USA
Holy S#!+! Yeah that wa the first thing I said upon tasting. Bright yellow gold. Abundant nose of yellow apple/brown pear dumpling with spices and buttery crust. Full-bodied palate echoes the nose adding a hint of caramel and eucalyptus. Medium acidity from entry to finish, which is long and luxurious. An excellent example of premium Napa Valley Chardonnay at a very good price. Complex on the palate but still an easy drink, the Piña Low Vineyard will pair nicely with heartier white wine fare but especially richly sauced casseroles or lobster in any of its popular forms (boiled and buttered at the top of the list). I’m having mine with salmon in butter garlic sauce. Drink now through 2029.

Beautiful dried mango, orange cream and butter on the nose with a creamy, mellow mouthfeel featuring nectarine skin. So well-knit, one of my favorites on the trip. Only 500 cs production

Elegant restrained, but still supple and a bit buttery. Not fat, not bracing but still full of flavor. Best chard ive had in a while

A really nice, well balanced California chardonnay with good structure and a hint of oak

Interesting for Cali chard. Pere a fusil - echoes of France. Crisp and clean.

Not as saturated or intense as many Napa Chards but better balanced than many more. Got better after two days being opened.

Jun 2nd, 2016Great balance of creamy mouth feel, tropical fruit, and acidity on the finish. Vanilla on the nose. Hint of butter but very subtle. Apricot, peach, and mango. Very well-rounded Chardonnay
