Cakebread Cellars Reviews: 2007 Chardonnay Napa Valley

2007 Chardonnay
Napa Valley

 

Wine Enthusiast

Give this fine Chard some time in the bottle to knit together. Tasted at about one year of age, it was a little disjointed, but the parts are quite good. The flavors of pineapples, Meyer lemons and golden mango need time to integrate with the butterscotchy, caramelly oak.
Wine Enthusiast scored this wine a 90.

 

Our 2007 Chardonnay, Napa Valley was awarded a Gold medal by the discerning judges in this popular event.
