"A highly rated wine when I first tasted it, the 2003 Chardonnay Mt. Caramel Vineyard is living up to its initial potential. A light gold-colored, juicy effort with an uncanny resemblance to a French grand cru Batard-Montrachet, it boasts terrific acidity along with plenty of soil undertones intermixed with orange marmalade, peach jam, apricots and honeysuckle. With terrific fruit, a deep, full-bodied mouthfeel, a stunning finish, and 14.5% natural alcohol."

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.
