went to artesa estate in napa valley for a visit a few years ago and picked up this one after tasting it in artesa's sample room. after 3 years of aging popped it open and discovered one of the best chardonnays i've had in my young wine drinking years. it was fruity, citrusy but not over the top with a nice full vanilla, oaky finish. paired this one with a white fish and it just complimented the dinner nicely. would easily buy another one if i'm down there again as these wines are harder to find in my area.
