*HALF BOTTLE*
WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The William Hill Napa Valley Chardonnay 2017 is smooth and elegantly balanced. Aromas of butterscotch and praline lead to beautifully integrated layers of baked pear, peach and toasted coconut. The rich, creamy mouthfeel gives way to a brilliant lemon acidity that lingers on the finish.
TASTING NOTES:
Decidedly sensuous aromas of vanilla wafer, toasted pineapple, and coconut are followed by a leesy and opulent entry of toasted oak, orange marmalade, and tropical fruit. The powdery mouthfeel of dried white-flower petals, white chocolate, and lemon meringue is memorable. 100% barrel fermented.
- Tasting Panel, 93 pts.
Chamomile, apricot pie, cooked apples, coconut and plenty of vanilla. Medium body, some pretty acidity and a round, fruity finish.
- James Suckling, 90 pts.
Full-bore and decadently spiced, with buttery and creamy accents to the baked apple, ripe pear and tropical melon flavors. Intense vanilla bean and pastry notes show on the finish. Drink now through 2023.
