Mission Codename Crème de la Crème
We scrutinize each wine that we bring you. The tougher our tasting panel is, the better the wine that we showcase. Today’s 2010 pureCru Napa Valley Chardonnay simply took our tasting panel by storm.
Made by our best-selling winemaker Mitch Cosentino, today’s wine is a voluptuous, silky, delicious Chardonnay. Captivating from its fresh start to its silky smooth and extended finish, this wonderful wine has us smitten. Mitch Cosentino is a winemaking rockstar - and we Wine Spies are his fanatical groupies.
Enjoy this very food-friendly wine during the holidays, but be sure to keep some on hand to last you through the year. This wine is built to age and will be showing even more beautifully in the post-winter months to come.
