Napa Station Chardonnay 2007


Today's wine is a new one at the store. Brought to me last week, this is made by a family owned winery in Napa. As part of a family business, I definitely have a soft spot for others that are similarly owned and operated and this is a great wine as well. The Napa Station 2007 Chardonnay is a fantastic wine that pours a golden straw with citrus, Bartlett pear and a touch of honey on the nose. It was aged in stainless steel and partially in oak leading to a great mouthfeel and medium weight with green apple, tropical fruit and a hint of butter on the palate. The finish is long with ample acidity to pair with food. This would be great with brie, roast chicken or a hearty soup. Pick this up and see what Napa Valley can provide.
