WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Medium yellow, with golden highlights. The nose is vibrant, featuring yellow apple, toasted hazelnuts, fresh cream, and earthy button mushrooms. On the palate, the wine unfolds to reveal layers of baked apples, honeysuckle, orange marmalade, roasted almonds, caramel, and a hint of light baking spice. The texture remains creamy and soft, with a subtle phenolic bitterness on the finish that provides structure and depth. This is a quintessential Napa Valley Chardonnay that offers exceptional value. Drink now–2030.
TASTING NOTES:
The nose is delicate and focused, with aromas of white peaches, lemon curd and chalk. The palate is medium-bodied with energetic acidity, giving notes of grapefruit, lemons and biscuits. Will age nicely and develop complexity. Drink or hold.
