Description

Napa Cellars has poured wine from its geodesic dome tasting room on Highway 29 in Oakville since 1976, and today it belongs to the Trinchero family, the Italian immigrants who invented White Zinfandel and built one of America’s biggest family wine companies. The 2023 Chardonnay draws fruit from Vista Montone Vineyard in the cooler southern end of the valley. It splits the difference between butter bomb and steel: smooth and creamy, with real acidity holding it up. Actual Napa Chardonnay at a weeknight price.
