"The 2012 Chardonnay Porter-Bass Vineyard is a real showstopper. Graphite, smoke, slate, lemon peel, white flowers and crushed rocks abound. In 2012, the Porter-Bass presents a distinctly Burgundian profile, with slight elements of reduction (in a good sense) allied to palpable energy. Readers who enjoy focused, tense Chardonnays will adore the 2012 Porter-Bass."

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.
