2020 Maldonado Los Olivos Vineyard Chardonnay, Napa Valley, California

Napa Valley Chardonnay gets a bad reputation for being over-oaked and over-buttered — and then you taste something like this. The 2020 Maldonado Los Olivos Vineyard Chardonnay is a revelation: rich and textured, yes, but with the kind of balance and precision that reminds you why Napa is one of the world’s great wine regions. From a Latino-owned winery with deep roots in the valley, this is a Chardonnay that earns its price point and then some.
