V. Sattui Winery, Napa Valley (California) Chardonnay 2018

 Here is a California Chardonnay that gives a proper nod to Burgundy without losing its geographical identity.  It’s the sort of wine that could sit next to an aged Montrachet Grand Cru and be right at home, and even stand out for its fresh and lively edge.  Lemon crème, marzipan and a little dash of clove ride a rich texture into the distance thanks to focused acidity.  A truly masterfully realized wine!  A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
