What to Expect
Chardonnay is America's most popular grape and with good reason. Made in styles that range from steely, mineral laced wines with crisp green apple fruit to wines that are buttery, rich, and laden with tropical fruits, there is a Chardonnay that will appeal to every palate. Chardonnay is most closely associated with France's Burgundy region and California's Northern valleys though it has proven successful around the globe.
Winemakers Notes
Our rich, bright Duck Shack Chardonnay from the Oakville region of the Napa Valley is meant to be shared. Savor the layers of apples and pears with a hint of nutty complexity in this wine. Its superb balance and crisp finish are the perfect complement to memorable gatherings with good friends and fine food.
Editorial Reviews
A touch of vanilla on the nose but this is driven by lime, apricot, and pineapple fruit tones that seem fresh and bright. Zesty acid on entry is followed by cool, crisp flavors of green fruits, pineapple and peach with creamy vanilla undertones and light wood spice notes. The texture is lovely and shows excellent integration. This is refreshing yet doesn’t lack power or richness and finishes with an absolute flourish of lime, starfruit, and peach fruit salad notes with even a hint of blueberry. Delicious 92pts

From the Beverage Testing Institute World Wine Championships:
86 Points. Silver Medal. Golden yellow color. Toasted nut, baked apple, and lemon balm aromas follow through on a soft, round entry to a dryish medium body with green pineapple, lime rind and mineral notes. Finishes with a crisp, tart mealy apple fade. (tasted on Mar-02-2009)

Intensely violet in colour, this wine exhibits an opulent nose of black cherry, mocha and fragrant herbs. In the mouth, flavors of boysenberry and bittersweet chocolate predominate accompanied by ample leather, tar and wild mushrooms. View More and Buy
