In 1973, Nicholas Molnar planted Poseidon Vineyard at the southern extreme of Napa Carneros, on what had been grazing land since the time of the missionaries. For three decades he grew Chardonnay and Pinot Noir here for the top sparkling wine houses in Napa Valley. The next generation, Pete and Arpad Molnar, joined by Michael Terien, ventured further north, planting a high-altitude vineyard on an old abandoned walnut orchard that turned out to be situated on a defunct volcano, on a ridge of solid black obsidian glass . . . indisputably Cabernet country. But this bottling takes us back to those early days, the days of Pinot Noir and yes, Chardonnay. The Poseidon vineyard has come to be known for producing grapes that show vibrant acidity and intense fruit, and both are in this Chardonnay in spades. Roundly textured from the discreet use of Hungarian oak, this is a lush, full white, fruitful and complex on the palate.
