"The 2011 Chardonnay La Carriere is subtle, perfumed and utterly impeccable. Dried pears, nutmeg, wild flowers and lemon rind all take shape in the glass. There is an element of restraint and balance in the 2011 that is utterly compelling. This isn’t a huge wine by Peter Michael standards, but it sure is beautiful. Acidity and minerality are the hallmarks here. Nick Morlet describes this site as rich in volcanic ash and the steepest Peter Michael works with."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
