Chateau Montelena Chardonnay Napa Valley

Parker Review:
Montelenas nonmalolactic Chardonnay hasnt changed in more than 30 years, and they certainly deserve credit for that. It rarely sees more than 20% new oak, and in certain vintages can age remarkably well. The 2006 Chardonnay has slightly more honeyed apple notes and hints of freshly squeezed orange juice and lemon zest. The wine is incredibly consistent from year to year, seemingly regardless of vintage conditions, and the 2006 seems to be just slightly more evolved and forward than the 2005. Im sure it will still be humming along 10 or more years from now.
