"One of the highest rated Mt. Carmel Chardonnays produced in the early days, the 2006 has eclipsed its initial lofty score of 96. A profound Chardonnay with spectacular length, stunning richness, a light gold color, and hints of popcorn, honeysuckle, pineapple and marmalade, this full-bodied white builds incrementally, revealing refreshing acidity that buttresses the enormous extract and richness. No new oak is apparent in this remarkable 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.
