Hunt Cellars is an extraordinary place. Hunt Cellars produces boutique quantities of almost all red wines that win a disproportionate number of awards. David Hunt, the owner and winemaker is blind, but he plays the piano and names most of his wines after musical terms. David says that blindness makes his palate and nose extra-sensitive.

 

 

This is not your typical California Chardonnay. The nose has many layers with warm tropical aromas of pineapple, mango, butterscotch, and peach. A sip fruit reveals flavors that mirror the nose with oak influence producing notes of toasty vanilla. The mouthfeel is quite round and lush, with just a touch of acidity and a elegant, dry finish.
