Visited this winery on a trip to NZ and this chardonnay was very nice. Aged in stainless steal, it has a crisp, refreshing taste. Citrus notes and flavors abound. 2 Notes

Paired this up with a little beer can chicken and it worked perfectly. Nice little bite, really smooth finish, I can't wait to have another bottle. 1 Note

It blows my mind that they are able to consistently make such a large quantity of such an excellent wine year after year. The 2007 Chardonnay is mouthwateringly good with delicate flavors of vanilla, butterscotch balanced by green apple, pear and a medium acidity that makes it crisp and refreshing. 1 Note

Very nice Chardonnay from one of Virginia's oldest wineries. This Chardonnay has been served to three different presidents. Barrel fermented, crisp, buttery with a hint of mango. This is Naked Mountain's signature wine. $25 1 Note

I have to admit that I gave this 3 1/2 stars because I'm not a huge fan of big, buttery California Chardonnays. I like Burgundy oaked Chards because they dial down on the oak by fermenting it in stainless steel as well. Chablis is really more my style, though. I will say that this Angeline was a good match for our baked pork dinner with buttery potatoes, where an unoaked Chard would not have paired so well. So in this case Angeline was the perfect wine for dinner, and that's really the most important thing. With aromas of citrus and apples, the flavors exhibited bright fruit flavors of the same, buttery French oak, and balanced acidity. It had a refreshing and long finish. Recommend with mussels in butter sauce, pork with a light gravy, and lobster with butter sauce. $13
