The 2006 NAPA VALLEY CHARDONNAY represents the 19th vintage we have made this wine since the founding of Patz & Hall in 1988. Sourced from five stellar vineyard sites, each worthy of single vineyard bottling in their own right, this blend represents the diversity of the Napa Valley. Foremost in the blend is the world famous Hyde Vineyard, which along with Green Island Vineyard, is located in Carneros, the coldest and most southern area of Napa Valley. The third component is from Hudson Vineyard, an iconic Carneros site planted to the Robert Young clone of Chardonnay. Finally, the Garvey Vineyard on Zinfandel Lane near the town of St. Helena, and Antintori California Vineyard, at the top of Atlas Peak in the eastern hills of Napa Valley, complete the blend. Together these five sites combine to make a classically rich, fruit driven Napa Valley Chardonnay.
