Cakebread Cellars Reviews: 2007 Chardonnay Napa Valley
2008 Chardonnay Napa Valley
December 2010
The 2008 Chardonnay possesses lots of lemon oil, citrus blossom and nectarine characteristics, but no evidence of wood. Medium to full-bodied and elegant, this beauty can be consumed over the next 2-4 years.
Robert Parker gave the 2008 Chardonnay Napa Valley 90 points.
