"Huge aromas of honeysuckle, hazelnut, and smoke soar from the 2004 Chardonnay Clare (produced from an old Wente clone off the Hyde Vineyard). With superb fruit, more tightness and minerality, but good smokiness, spiciness, and richness, it comes across as the most structured and backward of these Chardonnays. As I said last year, DuMol is one of my favorite wineries, primarily because of the passion and commitment to quality of owner Kerry Murphy and his winemaker, Andy Smith."

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.
