2006 Artesa Chardonnay Reserve Carneros Napa Valley

The nose gives off a pear and citrus mix. Flavors are bright and forward with buttery pear, melon and apple in the mix. The finish is slightly oaky and pleasant ending with a citrus twang. For someone who is not a big white wine drinker or fan this wine works for me. It’s around 18 dollars so the QPR is right on the money as well. Artesa continues to be at the front of mid to value priced white wine producers in the US.
