If Cabernet rules over other red wines, then Chardonnay holds the same place among white wines. Chardonnay’s aroma and flavor are so delicate that even a small amount of another varietal blended with it can overpower it. It can have a clean mouthfeel or resemble liquid gold with a gamut of flavors that beg to be savored. In many ways, Chardonnay is an ideal wine, with a wonderful sugar/acid balance, smoothness and full body.

In fact, Chardonnay grapes produce such wonderfully versatile wines that it’s easy to see why Chardonnay is a hands-down favorite around the world. And our 2007 Mockingbird Hill Napa Valley Chardonnay seems destined to enchant wine lovers everywhere. Jim Laube from Wine Spectator magazine said the 2007 vintage of California Chardonnay “offers a great range of quality across the board,” with “especially strong showings from Napa Valley.”

Our 2007 Chardonnay is wonderfully crafted and well balanced, with apple pie spice, cinnamon, nectarine and tropical flavors. The aroma evokes pear, butterscotch and peach. The taste finishes bright and clean with juicy fruit, apricot and floral nuances.
