Charles Krug
Carneros Chardonnay
Carneros, North Coast, California, USA
I enjoyed this bottle with family including my great uncle Peter (my grandfather Roberts brother) who just turned 100 yesterday! He is the last Mondavi of his generation... He fought in World War II and innovated cold fermentations... He is still all there and misses the old wines of yesteryear when it was normal to find wines of 12.5 to 13.5 % Alc. Classic... He is classic. Happy birthday Peter!

2012 Vintage. I've never been a huge fan of California Chardonnays but this was really good. Not oaky, hints of pear, creamy texture. Very pleasantly surprised!

Not bad for a California chard, not as much oak or malolactic aromas as you would expect. Definitely more tropical fruit than green fruits here

Nice to see a Chard with no malo. A little thin though

I understand the pullback from wines made from this grape, but this is done so well, and not overdone, that everybody needs to try this beautiful edition of Chardonnay 2012. Well done, Mondavi family...

Medium acidity, light + body. No oak, citrus, pear, a little pirosine. Pleasant with a light salad, grilled chicken or pork.
