Groth 2020 Chardonnay, Hillview Vineyard, Napa Valley, 750mL - 1 Bottle
This single-vineyard Napa Valley Chardonnay is sourced exclusively from the Groth family’s Hillview Estate south of Yountville. This limited-production wine highlights the beautiful fruit — with sweet peach, citrus and exotic tropical notes, along with an underlying minerality — that so often exemplifies white wines from the Oak Knoll District.

Varietal: Chardonnay
Appellation: Napa Valley
South of Yountville, tucked alongside the foothills of the Mayacamas in the Oak Knoll District, our Hillview Estate benefits from the cooling breezes of the San Pablo Bay. We purchased the 44-acre site in 1982 in search of an excellent Merlot source to blend with our Cabernets. Napa Valley’s sub-appellations did not yet exist back then, so we had no concern about whether the property fell within Oakville limits; we simply sought out the best Merlot vineyard we could find.
In 1996, our second winemaker, Michael Weis, saw that the site’s micro-climate and diverse soil types were ideal for growing world-class Chardonnay, so we strategically replanted 26 acres to the variety, reserving approximately 12 acres of our finest Merlot vines.

Swanson Vineyards, 2019 Salon Select Chardonnay, Napa Valley, 750mL - 1 Bottle
Focused and mineral driven for those who prefer a slightly less oaked Chardonnay. The palate is energetic, with ripe citrus and green apple flavors. A balancing acidity helps maintain the freshness alongside a relatively low alcohol level.
The vineyard is located in the heart of the Carneros district. Sheltered from the on-shore breezes by a ridge-line no more than 50 feet high. This allows the vines to achieve a good fruit set and maximizing yields. A much cooler site compared to some of our other more central Napa vineyards, the climate ensures that we retain acidity whilst generating sugars that give the wines vibrancy, energy an balance.
