HMV Chardonnay 2005
Napa Valley, California
Chardonnay has had its ups-and-downs in the trend-conscious world of wine pundits, but many wine drinkers have been smart enough to ignore all that - they know a good California Chardonnay is a sure thing when they want a white wine with umph. A long ripening period - in this case, aided by the cooling fogs of the San Pablo Bay - allows the grapes to ripen slowly and richly, eventually yielding a wine full-bodied and powerful enough to handle the rigors of oak-aging. The 2005 shows lots of honey, butterscotch and toasty aromas, along with notes of mango, banana and ripe peach.
Due to popular demand, this wine is sold out.

Try the HMV Chardonnay with chicken, pork, and especially richer seafood items like lobster. It also works with vegetarian mushroom and tofu dishes.
