and balsamic. Fresh and round, with a persistent finish.

toffee. Rounded tannins with a long finish. 90 points from both Wine Advocateand Wine Spectator.

fruit at rock-bottom prices, as long as they don’t disclose the vineyards fromwhich they were sourced. The result is the Clos Anais wines. This Chardonnay is

in every way the Napa Valley Chardonnay you expect, with ripe fruitaccentuated by oaky richness, all balanced by a strong backbone of acidity. Did

I mention the price?
