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.
