Hess Collection Chardonnay Mount Veeder

The Hess Collection Chardonnay Mount Veeder is a distinguished estate Chardonnay from one of Napa Valley's most unique and elevated wine-growing sites — Mount Veeder in the Mayacamas Mountains along Napa's western ridge. At elevations of 1,200 to 2,200 feet above sea level, Mount Veeder's volcanic soils, cool temperatures, and dramatic terrain produce Chardonnay of exceptional concentration and mineral complexity rarely found in valley-floor wines. The Hess Collection has been the definitive steward of Mount Veeder for decades, and this Chardonnay reflects the mountain's unique character: a brilliant golden color with a complex bouquet of ripe yellow apple, Meyer lemon, white flower, toasted hazelnut, and volcanic minerality. Full-bodied and impeccably structured with mouth-watering acidity and a long, mineral-inflected finish of great distinction.
