Groth Vineyards & Winery
Hillview Vineyard Chardonnay
Napa Valley, California, USA
Apricots, green pears and mandarins. Very expressive wine, both ripe and tart fruit flavors, backed by big acidity that doesn't overwhelm the body. Great deal on a Napa Chard, one that isn't dominated by toasted oak and vanilla flavors (in fact almost lacking altogether).

Dec 30th, 2014Great discovery. Intense minerality, non-ML Chard. Precise, little oak influence, precise. Will make you rethink Groth Chard.

Clean and slightly citrus, blended with a hint of stone fruit. Lacks the round creaminess I like and look for.
