Country: US / California
Variety: Chardonnay
Winery: Godspeed / Estate Grown
Chardonnays from Mount Veeder are rare, but the mountain can be a good home for that variety. Godspeed’s 2012 is dry, brisk in acidity and enormously rich in tropical fruit, pear and apricot fruit flavors, enhanced with oak. Drink this Chard now with fancy fare, such as wild mushroom risotto, ahi tuna tartare and chicken lasagna.
