The Napa Valley Chardonnay Reserve is a true expression of its terroir. The grapes for this wine come from the region's mist-shrouded, windswept slopes. Cool nights, misty mornings and afternoon breezes from San Pablo Bay allow for slow, even ripening, which is necessary for the development of the characteristic aromas and flavors.

The fruit for this Chardonnay comes from two outstanding vineyards on the Napa side of Carneros. The cool climate and loamy soils of this region create ideal growing conditions that result in an elegant and expressive wine.

The Chardonnay impresses with aromas of citrus, jasmine, a slightly smoky character and nutty roasted aromas. Fresh notes of stone fruit and citrus unfold on the palate, leading into a long, fresh finish. The wine is fresh and juicy, with great depth, beautiful density and elegant structure.
