Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Chardonnay 2023 Review
It's not just that this winery wowed wine journalists in 1976, creating a watershed moment in American wine history. It's the 50 years of consistent attention to quality and judicious decisions to maintain a legacy that endures. And this vintage stands out as a continuation of excellence. Aromas of orange blossom, lemon curd, and vanilla waft on the nose. The palate brings epic balance, with bright acidity racing through the fruit. The elegant power of this wine is unmatched.
