Patz & Hall 2005 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Patz & Hall / Napa Valley

Dry and crisp and with some complexity. The oak is 50% new and very evident in the smoky caramel, while the fruit veers toward peaches and pineapples. As is often the case with Napa Chard, there’s a sweet, herbal quality. Drink now through 2009.
