2007 Sequoia Grove Chardonnay - $23 from Carneros, Napa Valley. The grapes for this wine come from vineyards in the very southern part of Napa, the Carneros district. Specifically the grapes come from the vineyards of Beckstoffer, Haire, and Ghisletta. Carneros is the coolest area of Napa and quite windy due to the breezes coming off of the San Pablo Bay. This makes it a great area for cool climate grapes like chardonnay and pinot noir. This chardonnay has aromas of lemon merange pie, pineapple, and lime. A full bodied wine, it is creamy, and well balanced. Nothing is really overpowering, it's well done quality. I highly recommend picking up a bottle.

p.s. pictured is the '05 vintage, the '07 label looks exactly the same except for the date.
