Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Maturation
Transformation undergone by the grape when it is enriched with sugar and loses some of its acidity to reach maturity.
