Description
Godspeed 2013 Mount Veeder Chardonnay - 2 Bottles
The vines were planted in 1987 using the "Spring Mountain Clone." These same vines earned Godspeed Wine Enthusiast's "Chardonnay of the Year" award in the previous year. Burgundian in style and featuring our 100% Estate Mountain grown, hand-harvested Chardonnay, the grapes are whole clustered crushed, and barrel fermented (no malolactic and lightly oaked with less that 25% new oak barrels). A crisp refreshing wine with a tropical fruit nose and a citrus back that drinks especially well in warm weather and pairs beautifully with Southwestern and Asian Cuisine. "Rivals Chassagne-Montrachet." "A great food wine and age-worthy Chardonnay." 2013 vintage received a Double Gold Medal at the American Fine Wine Competition 2016.

Godspeed is an artisan grower in the Mount Veeder Appellation of Napa Valley situated at an altitude of 1500 ft. The vineyard is the project of the Larry Stricker family. Larry is an acclaimed architect who has created world-class resort hotels, including the Phoenician in Scottsdale, Arizona; the Marriott Desert Springs Resort and a series of Hawaiian properties including the Halekulani, Kahala Resort, Kapalua Bay Hotel and the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel. At his Mount Veeder estate, he has over time sold his world-class fruit to recognized wineries including Robert Craig, Bremmer, William Hill, Newton & Monticello. Since 1990 he has taken advantage of his exceptional vineyard by bottling half his production under his own label. Three wines are produced at Godspeed: Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Trinity. All three are made in a very elegant, almost "European" style, with an emphasis on the vineyard's unique micro-climate, as expressed in the wine's balance and fruit element.
