Wine Details
Pours a beautiful golden color, bursting out of the glass with fresh butter, lemon oil, and citrus blossoms, with succulent vanilla and gunflint to boot. On the palate the wine is rich and vibrant on entry, with beautifully uplifted acidity carrying apples, pears, and meyer lemon into a finish redolent with vanilla bean and lemon rinds. Equally impressive as a solo sipper or paired with a meal.

Lot 706 comes to us from one of the most legendary names in the history of Napa Valley Chardonnay – rabid enthusiasts and casual fans alike are all familiar with the contributions and legacy of the man behind the source winery’s label. Entirely produced from estate fruit grown in certified organic vineyards, this wine is literally what many would consider the benchmark expression of Chardonnay in Napa Valley – a classically styled, barrel fermented, gorgeous wine that delivers all the texture and elegance you’d expect from a hall of fame producer.
First-class Chardonnay from an iconic winery, and easily the best deal on Napa Valley Chardonnay in the country.

“Just one bottle is not enough…”
This Lot 706 2018 Chardonnay is perfectly delicious for any summer day. A crisp Chardonnay with an irresistible citrus profile finishing bright and fresh. Napa Valley sure can produce some fine grapes. And at this price, I think I’ll order another case…

OK, so I was wrong
In my somewhat haughty review of the Rogue Valley chardonnay, I opined that experienced white wine drinkers (such as, of course, myself) were abandoning the heavy, oaky chardonnays in favor of lighter fare. A fellow reviewer even suggested that vintners use oak to conceal low quality. Well, this Napa Valley chardonnay just annihilates my dislike of heavy wines. In wine, at least, one can worship more than one god. My two white wine gods now are the ones from Napa Valley and from Rogue Valley.

Wonderful Balance
This chardonnay has the hints of butter and oak but doesn't overpower the wonderful citrus flavors.

Very Impressed
I love quintessential Napa Valley Chardonnay and prefer a little butter, and oak with my fruit flavors. I typically drink Chard before dinner, so the trend toward unoaked, crisp, dry Chardonnay, although it may be more food friendly, is not my go to. This is a fabulous all around Chard that ticks all the boxes for me, and everyone who's tried it. We ordered two cases. Just hope I have some left after the Holidays!

Beautifully Balanced
You know you are getting something special when it's from Napa - the real estate is simply too expensive to waste on bad winemaking. Hmmm...I can only guess which "iconic winery" - and there are a few! But know what you like. Some of those Carneros chards are intensely rich. This one hints at that boldness, while also bringing a welcome Burgundian minerality into the mix. In my mind, that makes it pretty much perfect - and I love the price!

Perfect Pairing
Paired this wine with sushi on a Friday night after a long work week. What a tremendous value and just the perfect pairing. So far the best white I’ve had from Cam!

Perfect Chard for a Perfect Price
It's really that simple folks. My girlfriend doesn't even like Chard's and she loved this one. Lots of flavor yet not overpowering. Get one and see for yourself.
