2021 Chardonnay Table Wine, Anderson Valley
“This is the winery’s daily drinker Chardonnay in a group of what’s usually three different levels, and it’s always offered at a generous case discount. The ’21 is citrus forward aromatically, and that translates nicely to the palate where the lemon and lime are joined by a soft tropical note and some sweet oak. You won’t find better Chardonnay at this price point.” —Rich Cook, Wine Review Online
2015 Chardonnay Table Wine
It may be a “table wine” but it impresses, especially given its price. Forward fruit is well-balanced by attractive crispness, and the
wine is surprisingly well-integrated and long-finishing.John Vankat, Arizona Daily Sun, January 11, 2017.

2007 Chardonnay Table Wine
“A couple of years ago, I first wrote about Navarro and their 2004 Chardonnay Table Wine. I think that was our first experience with that wine. Since then, we've enjoyed each of their subsequent vintages - including the new Navarro 2007 Chardonnay Table Wine release that arrived a few weeks back in the fall wine club shipment. If you're looking for an everyday Chardonnay, Navarro's comes with our highest recommendation.” scottskitchen.com, November 23, 2008.
2001 Chardonnay Table Wine
Navarro calls this a table wine for its everyday utility, and that's what we found: clean golden apple flavor, minimal oak contact, just enough of a snap of acidity to wash down that next bit of grilled chicken sandwich. - Tera Q. Thomas and Patrick Comiskey, Wine & Spirits, December 2002.
2000 Chardonnay Table Wine
Medium light gold color. Cinnamon-apple with fragrant, spicy nose. Soft buttery... Chardonnay at a great price. - Tom Hill, Los Olivos Wine & Spirits, November 15, 2001.

Shows green apple, cotton candy, and honeydew on the nose before a smooth palate of green apple and melon and a medium to long and focused finish. This is a great buy, especially for everyday drinking. - Colorado Wine News, January - March 2001.
Exceptional. Crisp and lean with delicate flavors, but a hint of creaminess in the finish. Amazing bargain. - Dan Berger's Vintage Experience, August 17, 2000.

We purchased this Europress in 2020 to increase the speed at which we can process grapes. This new press can process about eight tons of destemmed grapes per cycle replacing an older, smaller press with a capacity of less than two tons. To clean the press thoroughly you have to crawl inside, which may require a change of footwear upon descent.

When barrels are stored empty, they are filled with sulfur dioxide gas to prevent any spoilage organisms from growing inside. We cover the silicone bungs with food-grade plastic to prevent damage from the gas. Before reuse, the barrels are thoroughly cleaned with steaming hot water as we don't want the SO2 to inhibit fermentation.
