The Destino Napa Valley Chardonnay has a creamy, melon/honeydew, apricot,
butterscotch, opulent texture, and broad flavors with nice length.
Our Napa Chardonnay comes from two sites. Trio-C vineyard located in the southern
end of the Napa Valley near the town of Yountville. Its soils are made up of a sandy
clay loam of moderate depth. The vines are well cared for with an upright vertical
trellis allowing partial sun exposure, ensuring ripeness and good air circulation. The
second vineyard is Green Island. This is located at the far southern end of Napa
Valley, between American Canyon and Carneros. It is actually closer to the cool
influence of San Pablo bay than Carneros. These grapes are from a Robert Young
clone selection and have a bright, long flavor profile.
