"The fully mature, medium gold-colored 2001 reveals notes of butterscotch, honeyed citrus and a hint of marmalade. With good acidity and a crushed rock/mineral component in the flavor profile, this medium to full-bodied, delicate, restrained, vibrant, exuberant, fresh, 10-year old Chardonnay displays a subtle smokiness that works well with the ripeness and minerality of this vintage."

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.
