Napa Valley Chardonnay is a rich, nuanced and complex wine. The nose opens with aromas of apple cobbler, creme brulee, ripe pineapple, orange marmalade, and fresh peach. The palate is supple, balanced and integrated and exhibits flavors of stone fruit, candied lemon zest, baking spices, ambrosia and vanilla. It is at once vibrant and balanced while being creamy with a long, lingering finish.

Very aromatic and bright with some honeysuckle and lemon with some chalk and stone. Medium body with a creamy texture and a long and flavorful finish.

A blend of fruit from Carneros (60%) and Coombsville (40%) and barrel fermented in 43% new French oak, the 2022 Chardonnay features subtle buttered toast notes, paired with pear, melon and pineapple fruit. Medium to full-bodied, with partial malolactic fermentation, this plump, round wine is pretty standard Napa stuff but done really well.
