Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Chardonnay 2005
My notes from previous bottles of the 2004 and 2005 consistently note the high acidity, tastes of green apple, a sense of Burgundy with appropriate oak richness in the background. Today’s bottle is spot on again. P&B in Calistoga 13.5% $39 at Traverso’s, $31.99 at Bottle Barn Montelena
Far Niente Napa Valley Chardonnay 2005
