Lily Oliver at El Molino

Grabbed this a few months back but hadn't posted it.  El Molino makes some sensational chards and pinots.  I'm especially infatuated with their pinots.

El Molino was one of the oldest wineries in Napa.  Started in 1874 and run until prohibition.  Lily and her husband John make the wines.  They're both fabulous winemakers and great hosts.  They meld Burgundian sensabilities about winemaking with Napa fruit to produce something that's unique.

These wines are definitely worth seeking out and seem to usually sell out.  Older vintages are hard to find.
