GODSPEED VINEYARDS Chardonnay, Mt Veeder, Napa

 WHY WE LOVE IT:

  • Rare, mountain fruit - 1500 foot elevation
  • Brisk yet rich tropical fruit that ages like a Burgundy - many compare to Puligny Montrachet
  • Ed Sbraggia, Bremer buy Godspeed highly prized grapes for vineyard designate wines
  • Double Gold winner, American Fine Wine Competition

WINEMAKER: Proprietor Larry Stricker and Chris Corley: Monticello Vineyards

WHAT WE TASTED: Classic aromas of grilled pineapple, asian pear, walnuts, apple and spice, while the flavors of creme brulee, guava, toasted almond and warm bread come through on an elegant and long citrusy lime finish. We should say by the time it was done unfolding in the glass! This 2014 vintage wine is awesome.

AVA DESIGNATED: Mt Veeder AVA, Napa

WHAT WE PAIRED:

  • Fresh Oysters were a perfect match
  • Herb roasted chicken with green salad and herbs
