A California classic, and has provided decades of proof that Napa Valley can easily and routinely make pure, acid-driven, old world balanced Chardonnay.

Pretty reductive on the nose to start but air cleared things and it showed well.

Pop and pour from MAG. A splendid light gold color. On the nose: apple, honeydew melon, banana, crushed stone, floral. Taste: still young at 11 years. Fresh, chalky, with depth and character. Notes of pear, nectarine, lemon & lime, and a white pepper minerally long lean finish. YUM!

If you didn’t see the label one might taste a young Petit Chablis. Pale straw yellow with no hint of oxidation. Subdued nose of pear and apple and no dairy!
Dry but delicious fruit like the nose. A bit of honey and vanilla. This wine will keep going for years to come but why wait? Gulp it@down with friends

Subtle citrus with limestone. Citrus and a basket of herbs on the nose.
