2009 Carsi Vineyard Chardonnay

Carsi Vineyard lies about thirteen miles south of the winery, in a wide, flat basin just north of the town of Napa. It’s a cooler zone of heavier soils where Chardonnay does exceptionally well. V. Sattui purchased the land in 1989 and invested heavily in soil amendments, fertilization and trellising of the existing vines before naming it after my great-grandfather Vittorio’s Italian village in the mountains above Genoa. We began to produce some excellent Chardonnays in just a short time.

It has a toasty, oaky quality, with a slight tartness—a function of its relative youth—that should be of no concern to those who like their Chardonnays with another year or more of age. Even the forward oakiness will dissipate with more time in the bottle, when the wine’s obvious finesse will continue through its already smooth and lingering finish. Store at cellar temperature and consume within the next two to three years.
