"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 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.
