Chateau Montelena Napa Chardonnay Hoppy this wine shows bright acidityRipe peach, pear and cloves dominate the nose amidst a flurry of floral and honeysuckle notes. Theres a wonderful fullness and weight on the palate punctuated by ripe melon, green apple, and fresh citrus. The oak contribution remains subtle with a hint of vanilla and baking spice. The density of the wine is readily apparent as grilled pineapple, lychee, and a rich creaminess linger. 2014 Vintage Scores: Rich with orange blossom and peppery olive oil
