"Readers looking for an ostentatious blockbuster should check out Kistler's 1998 Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard. This offering comes from the Hudson E Block vineyard that was made famous by Helen Turley and John Wetlaufer's Marcassin bottlings. Smoky, roasted hazelnut scents give this a garish, flamboyant, Meursault premier cru-like character. Big and full-bodied, with considerable glycerin, high alcohol, and terrific fruit richness, this thick, juicy, mouth-staining Chardonnay will impress with its power and brash display of fruit, alcohol, and glycerin. It should drink well for 5-6 years."

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.
