Description

In the glass the wine displays a typical bright green, yellow-gold color. On the nose it is a big bowl of fresh fruit, with intense green apple, fresh honeydew melon, and citrus in the background. The flavors follow, leading with classic Napa Valley Chardonnay varietal character and showing strong Bartlett pear. The palate is one of fresh, huge fruit - lovely, luscious, and mouthwatering.

This wine was chosen by the well known wine writer Steven Spurrier for a blind wine tasting in 1976 to compete against the top white wine producers from Burgundy and Bordeaux. The tasting became known as the “Judgement of Paris”. At the time the French believed that their wines were far superior than any other Country. The Montelena Chardonnay came top of all the white wines tasted. This year in 2009 a film has been released starring Alan Rickman as Steven Spurrier about this tasting and how California beat the best the French could produce, the film is called “Bottle Shock”.
