Napa Valley Reserve Chardonnay
100% Chardonnay from the Carneros and Atlas Peak appellations, our Napa Valley Reserve Chardonnay represents careful vineyard sourcing and meticulous barrel aging - the foundation of the William Hill Estate style of distinctive flavor and fruit. Carneros, in the southern reaches of Napa Valley, is known for cool nighttime temperatures, well-drained soils and afternoon breezes, yielding Chardonnay fruit of exceptional forward fruit quality, with distinct tropical nuances. Atlas Peak Chardonnay, grown high in the eastern mountains of the Valley, develops appealing stone fruit flavors and provides firm structure to the wine.
Our Reserve Chardonnay offers elegant, lush fruit flavors, complemented by toasty oak and spice notes gained by a regimen of French oak barrel aging. Full malolactic fermentation contributes a wonderful, lingering hint of butterscotch. Shellfish, seafood and poultry are superb matches for this elegant Chardonnay. With its supple oak flavors, this wine is also an excellent companion for veal or pork, especially dishes that feature a cream sauce.
