"One of the standouts among these 2011s, the Chardonnay Thieriot Vineyard is wonderfully alive in the glass. A detailed, nuanced wine, the 2011 is all about clarity and precision. White orchard fruit, flowers, crushed rocks and a subtle hint of spices all add further nuance. Stylistically, the Thieriot lies somewhere between the Mays Canyon and Heintz. Proprietor Ted Lemon picked this fruit very late, after all of the rain. For his patience, Lemon was rewarded with an utterly magical wine."

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.
