"Playing it closer to the vest, the 2005 Chardonnay Bee Block shows notes of crushed rock, white currants, flowers, sweet corn, dried pit fruits, and some honeyed apricot. The wine is rich, very dry, but full-bodied with a slightly austere mineral-laced finish. It should drink nicely for 7-8 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.
