Bang for buck

Navarro's house wines—Navarrouge, Edelzwicker and Chardonnay Table Wine—vary the most from year to year. These are crafted from the leftover lots after blending our varietal bottlings. There's more to choose from in a bumper harvest. We pick the best of the excess wines and start the tastings to create our house wines. 2023 brought us a bountiful harvest, and the best Chardonnay had been crafted for our Première Reserve bottling. As a result, all the lots in this Chardonnay Table Wine were fermented in French oak barrels and puncheons, with about 15% new oak. The grapes were all grown by Navarro without herbicides or insecticides, with about a quarter from the block in front of our tasting room and the balance from our Hammer Olsen vineyard. Because this wine was made exclusively from barrel-fermented lots, we only produced about 85% of our typical yield.

Fog rolling in at sunset with our Chardonnay “Apple” vineyard in the foreground. Evenings are cool in Anderson Valley due to the ocean fog which keeps the grapes' acidity high.

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.

1999 Chardonnay Table Wine

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.
