Wine Tasting: 2006 Fantesca Chardonnay Los Carneros

Filed under: Wine

To me there is nothing more refreshing on a hot summer's day than a freshly chilled bottle of white wine. The package that unfolds on your palate from the 2006 Fantesca Chardonnay Los Carneros District is surprisingly light while complex and fulfilling. Expressing aromatic tones of grapefruit, lime and pineapple with a vanillin barrel overtone this chardonnay has both crispness and warmth. Be sure to take your time and enjoy this wine taste by taste as it will evolve within the glass. Refreshing, satisfying and perfect on its own or paired with a food this limited production is a great choice for $45.

Summer may be within reach but no matter the season a great bottle of Cabernet always hits the spot. Fantesca's 2004 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon soothes your stress away and satiates your wine desires with notes of deep earth and rich fruit. The combination of chocolate cherries, cassis and warms the soul while a hint of earth-scented spice perks up the palate. Fantesca Estate on Spring Mountain is known for its superb sun exposure and long growing season offered by the elevation and hilly terrain which makes for high quality wines with a lasting impression. With only 800 cases produced the $65 bottle is certainly worth purchasing. If you prefer to cellar it you can count on fifteen or more wonderful years of drinking pleasure.
