The 2011 Château Montelena Chardonnay is a mature white wine from the Napa Valley. Sourced predominantly from the Oak Knoll vineyard, this vintage benefits from a cooler growing season, resulting in a wine that showcases restraint and structure. Aromas of lemon zest, green apple and flint are present, underpinned by a subtle minerality. The palate is medium-bodied, with a crisp acidity and a gradual build of complexity, while the finish reveals hints of almond and fresh herbs. Château Montelena, established in 1882, is known for its historical significance in the California wine industry.

The 2011 Chardonnay is beautiful. Lemon oil, melon, white flowers, spices and a hint of pastry all take shape in the glass. This is a surprisingly broad, creamy Chardonnay for the year. The aromas and flavors are bright, but they are shaped by considerable texture and volume. The 2011 was aged mostly in neutral oak, with 8% new barrels, while the malo was blocked as is the custom here.Antonio Galloni1st November 2013
