DESCRIPTION/REVIEWS:
The Catena wines are a blend of single varietal lots from the Catena family’s vineyards. The blend of these components creates a wine of unique character that has balance, concentration and a strong varietal identity.
“The 2007 Chardonnay received some barrel fermentation but was aged in stainless steel. Sophisticated bouquet with a touch of toasty oak, mineral, poached pear, and tropical notes. This is followed by a smooth-textured wine with spicy, savory white fruits, bright acidity, excellent concentration, and a fruit-filled finish.”—Wine Advocate—90 pts
