2007 MacRostie Carneros Chardonnay

SKU #1047774

Made using chardonnay sourced from top vineyard on the Napa and Sonoma sides of Carneros, including Sangiacomo, Beckstoffer and Durell, among others. There's also a dose of fruit from MacRostie's Wildcat Mountain Estate Vineyard. Like key lime crème brulee on the nose, the palate tends toward apple crisp and mango flavors. Creamy and broad, this is California chardonnay to a tee. From the Wine Spectator: "Ripe, complex and full-bodied, with an earthy, loamy, leesy pineapple edge to the flavors. Ends with a hint of lemon-citrus meringue. Drink now through 2012." (06/09)

Price: $17.99

If you are looking for a Chardonnay that is California-bred but shows more fruit flavors and well-integrated oak for under $20, you can't do much better than the 2007 Macrostie. In this wine you get the tropical citrus flavors of lemon and orange, flavors of lees and buttered popcorn, a creamy mouthfeel, and oak-spiced finish, but it is all supported by sufficient acidity to finish clean and dry, not cloying.

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Chardonnay

- It's hard to believe that up until about 30 years ago, this extremely popular varietal hid behind the veil of geographical names like Chablis and Puligny-Montrachet. Now grown all over the world and bottled by its varietal name, Chardonnay has achieved a level of branding unlike any other wine. Surprisingly, though, what you get when you buy Chardonnay can differ greatly from country to country and even within one country, depending on the climate where it's grown and how it is vinified and aged. From fresh, crisp and minerally with apple and lemon notes to rich and buttery with tropical fruit overtones, Chardonnay runs the gamut. In France's Burgundy, Chardonnay is the source of the prized wines of Chablis, Corton-Charlemagne, Mâcon, Meursault and Montrachet. It also the foundation of exceptional Champagne, where it is blended with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier or vinified on its own into Blanc de Blancs. It is also extremely popular in California, and is gaining popularity in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain and South Africa.
Country:

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.

Sub-Region:

California

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year.

Specific Appellation:

Carneros

- Just across the Golden Gate from San Francisco, Carneros is kept cool by Bay breezes and thick fog, and has long been famous for cool-climate pinot noir, chardonnay and sparkling wine based on the two varietals. Warmer pockets have proved interesting and promising homes for syrah, cabernet and merlot.
