Small thick-skinned berries producing concentrated, structured wines, fine tannins from obsidian. Volcanic mountain identity, graceful long cellaring.

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).
