The 2007 Catena Alta Chardonnay was sourced from one lot in the Adrianna Vineyard. It was barrel-fermented in 50% new French oak with native yeasts followed by 12-18 months in barrel with frequent batonnage. Light gold-colored it has a superb nose of pain grille baking spices mineral nutmeg and tropical notes. Medium-bodied elegant and impeccably balanced this complex Chardonnay will drink well for another 5-6 years if not longer.
