"Amazingly complex, pungent aromas of hazelnut, pineapple, lemon, peach, truffle, petrol, honey and resiny earth; like a cross between Hermitage blanc and Alsace pinot gris (rancio meets Raveneau?). Rich and supple but shapely and minerally in the mouth, with complex flavors of orange peel, lemon and game. This utterly fascinating, extremely fresh wine reminded me of a 25-year-old white Chave Hermitage from a great vintage."

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.
