"For my taste, California’s finest stainless steel fermented and aged Chardonnay is Melville’s Chardonnay Clone 76 Inox, which represents a Chablis on steroids. The 2004 possesses loads of lemon, orange, and other citrus characteristics intermingled with a distinctive minerality. White peach aromas also emerge with airing. It’s a shame more California wineries do not make the effort to produce beauties such as this."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
