Our Napa Valley Chardonnay comes from two cool climate sites which pair fluidly to produce an elegant, food-friendly wine. Located at the far southern end of Napa Valley, between American Canyon and Carneros, Green Island Vineyard offers intense fruit from an 11-year-old Robert Young clone selection grown in gravelly soil. This vineyard is actually closer to the cool influence of San Pablo Bay than Carneros, producing grapes with a long, bright flavor profile. Adding depth and sophistication to our 2007 Napa Chardonnay, we have included grapes from the coveted Haynes Vineyard in Coombsville. With low-yielding, 33-year-old Old Wente Clone vines, Haines produces nuanced fruit filled with aromatics and structured layers. The 2007 Destino Napa Valley Chardonnay is a lush, well-balanced wine that offers rich, concentrated flavors of pear and honeydew melon complemented by vibrant bright citrus notes. These tropical flavors are well-balanced by subtle oak flavors.
