MERRYVALE Chardonnay Napa Valley Starmont 2008 Score: 90 | $20 Fresh and vibrant, with a full-bodied mix of tangerine, nectarine, peach and pear flavors that are intense, complex, layered and cleansing. This holds on to its core fruitiness. Drink no... Wine Spectator. A Chardonnay wine from California in USA. 2008 Merryvale Vineyards Chardonnay Starmont 750ml

Our 2007 Carneros Chardonnay is concentrated and intense in style. Aromas of hazelnut, tropical fruit and ripe apple are framed by crisp minerality and sweet toasty oak. The wine is rich and creamy with a lingering finish. Our favorite pairing is cracked lobster with drawn butter and fresh lemon.

Light golden color with greenish hue. This pleasant chardonnay exhibits notes of white florals, toasted hazelnut and lemon curd. Creamy and round on the palate, flavors of tropical fruit and butterscoth melt into toasted almond on the lasting finish... Geoffrey Binder.
