title: Patz & Hall 2005 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)
description: Dry and crisp and with some complexity. The oak is 50% new and very evident in the smoky caramel, while the fruit veers toward peaches and pineapples. As is often the case with Napa Chard, there's a sweet, herbal quality. Drink now through 2009.
variety: Chardonnay
