"There is no typographical error – the current release is the 1995 Chardonnay Cuvee LD. This reasonably priced white was bottled without filtration in August, 1996. Nearly fifteen years later, it still exhibits a light straw color with only a hint of gold. The wine is amazingly youthful, offering up notes of unbuttered popcorn, white currants, white peaches, honeysuckle and background earth and orange/nectarine characteristics. Medium to full-bodied with zesty acidity and, by California’s standards, moderately high alcohol (14.8%)."

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.
A large, geographically varied California region producing cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay near the coast and richer Zinfandel and Cabernet inland. Its wines range from elegant to bold.
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.
