2023 Patz & Hall Hyde Vineyard Carneros Chardonnay (Was $60)
Winery Notes- This Chardonnay is from blocks planted for Patz & Hall in 1997 and 1999 using the famous “Hyde Wente” selection of Chardonnay. The 2022 Hyde Chardonnay demonstrates why this vineyard has been a three-star, acclaimed Patz & Hall offering for over 30 years. The just ripe pomaceous fruit mingles seamlessly with the vanilla spice from careful new French oak ageing. Evidence of lees contact show by richness of palate and a nuance of toast and flint. This wine has wonderfully fresh acidity that is contrasted by startling deep, rich textures, a seeming contradiction, found in only the greatest Chardonnays.$39.905 -
2023 Wayfarer WF2 Fort Ross-Seaview Chardonnay
Winery Notes- Freshly squeezed oranges and lemon zest emerge from the glass along with nectarine, toasted almond and coconut. Intense with lots of volume, the wine is balanced by a zesty backbone. The palate is opulent yet fresh with creamy notes of lemon meringue pie and a hint of sea salt. White peach emerges as the wine lingers on the palate. There is a beautiful symmetry and balance to this Chardonnay.$44.9021 -
2022 Locanda Beckstoffer Carneros Lake Vineyard Carneros Chardonnay
Winery Notes- This age worthy chardonnay shows ripe apple and star fruit with hints of seared pineapple, mango and peony floral notes on the nose. A wonderfully seamless transition with additional hints of crème brûlée and toffee throughout the long smooth palate. Absolutely worthy of 2-3 years aging to shine its brightest. -
2021 Heitz Cellar Quartz Creek Oak Knoll District Chardonnay (Was $85)
Winery Notes- In the early 1960s, Joe and Alice Heitz envisioned crafting the most distinguished Chardonnay in Napa Valley. They learned under legends like Fred and Eleanor McCrea from Stony Hill Vineyard up on Spring Mountain. With those ambitious goals in mind, we carry on their legacy through the expression of the Quartz Creek Vineyard Chardonnay. Situated at the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains and blanketed by the morning fog from the Petaluma Gap, this site continues to produce our most elegant and refined expression of Chardonnay. Always sustainably farmed and vinified in the classic style to evoke the purest characteristics of the land where the grapes are grown.$49.904 -
2024 Neely Leona - Sausal Creek Vineyard Estate Santa Cruz Mountains Unoaked Chardonnay
Winery Notes- Stainless steel elevage enhances the expressive and bright aromatics of this Chardonnay. Bold mango and honeydew melon are tempered by softer hues of chamomile and a mineral, wet stone quality. The palate is vibrant with warm, golden fruit and a zesty backbone to support it. -
2024 Massican Hyde Vineyard Napa Valley Chardonnay
Winery Notes- We are proud to source the Chardonnay for this wine from Hyde, one of California's most famous and historic Chardonnay vineyards, founded by Larry Hyde in Carneros in 1979. Tucked away in the southern part of Napa Valley, the entire estate is a gorgeous expanse of rolling hills with southeast exposure and saline morning fog. The parcels of Musque clone Chardonnay and old Wente that make up this bottling were planted between 1979 and 1992. This wine was fermented and aged in 100% new French oak, then bottled as this single-vineyard wine.$44.904 -
2020 Ramey Woolsey Road Vineyard Russian River Valley Chardonnay (Was $80)
Winery Notes- The pinnacle of everything we’ve learned and accomplished, the Martinelli Family planted Woolsey Road to our exacting specifications. The resulting Chardonnay is laser focused. Owned by the Martinelli family, the vineyard was planted specifically for us at their invitation. We were able to provide them with Old Wente cuttings from Hyde Vineyard. Woolsey Road benefits from two greats in the Chardonnay world: it originates from the Hyde family’s cuttings of Old Wente and is farmed by the third and fourth generations of the Martinelli family. Pictured is Lee Martinelli Sr. tending vines with the fifth generation. We press whole grape clusters for phenolic delicacy. Native yeast and full native malolactic fermentation take place in barrel, with sur lies bâtonnage. After aging 20 months in 20% new François Frères and Taransaud Beaune French oak barrels, the Chardonnay was traditionally fined for clarity and texture and bottled without filtration.$64.904 -
2020 Ramey Rochioli Vineyard Russian River Valley Chardonnay (Was $80)
Winery Notes- Few wineries have the privilege of making a Rochioli Vineyard wine. Virtually all are turned down. Mutual respect and a legacy of quality built our families’ partnership. The Rochioli family has grown grapes on their property since the late ‘50s. The vineyard is now farmed by the third generation. Our 2020 Rochioli blend is 82% Mid-40 block and 18% River block. We press whole grape clusters for phenolic delicacy. Native yeast and full native malolactic fermentation take place in barrel, with sur lies bâtonnage. After aging 20 months in 20% new François Frères and Taransaud Beaune French oak barrels, the Chardonnay was traditionally fined for clarity and texture and bottled without filtration.$64.905
