$75/bottle under the original label

Lot 605 is a 92-point James Suckling scored (under our label) American icon, possessing minerality and longevity on par with some of the great white Burgundies. Crafted using the estate’s hallmark restrained-oak approach, this stunner is a showcase of classic Napa Valley concentration with impeccably delicate structure – a gorgeous marriage of elegance and power. Despite all the critical acclaim in the world with nothing left to prove, they continue to produce some of the finest that wine country has to offer.

Lustrous gold on the pour, the nose bursts forth with vanilla blossoms, lemon curd, and chalk-lined minerality bolstered by warm spice, apricot, and pears. The palate is both vibrant and supple, its balanced acidity carrying flavors of apple, pear, and fresh butter. Barrel-derived spice and toffee emerge on the midpalate, neatly cut by a bright citrus edge. The finish is enduring and umami-rich, echoing with uplifted spice, florals, and a reprise of its mineral backbone before cresting in endless waves of orchard fruit and gentle vanilla.

Intriguing Fruit-Forward Chardonnay

"A beautiful golden pour delivers a nose of pear and yellow apple. On the palate, which has bright but balanced acidity, minerality offsets a fruit-forward punch of pear, apple and peach, with undertones of butterscotch on the mid-palate, and closing with notable oak. Overly fruity (and lacking the subtlety) to be compared to a high-end Burgundy, but a sincere and genuine American Chardonnay, and a fine product of the terroir and American taste."

— Nigel B. (5/5)

Wonderful

"Can't overstate how much I enjoyed this wine, as did my guests. It lives up to the bottle description: "showcase", "classic Napa Valley". Even though I prefer red wines, this may be the best of many great bottles I've purchased from De Negoce."

— Doug H. (5/5)
