2022 Napa Valley Chardonnay

This is a lively Chardonnay with fragrant aromas of fresh citrus fruits, Granny Smith apple, and lime. The palate is round and luscious with a creamy texture that is supple, providing good weight and depth. Bright notes of ripe pineapple, Golden Delicious apple, melon, and citron crème are fruit-forward and inviting, while a subtle spiced note of vanilla, brioche toast, and shortbread adds layers and nuance, hinting at delicate oak influence. This wine is savory and mouth-pleasing with secondary notes of hazelnut and lanolin, providing richness, all developing into a mouthwatering crisp and dry finish that is long and refreshing.
