The 2021 Chardonnay Napa Valley offers up a more medium-bodied, juicy, if not Chablis-like vibe in its stone and melon fruits as well as focused, lively texture. Coming all from Yountville, this is a balanced, impeccably made Chardonnay to drink over the coming 3-5 years or so.

Tasting notes

Welcoming you with the scent of warm toasted hazelnuts and crème brulée straight from the oven this wine is a perfect expression of a warm weather Chardonnay. As the wine opens up in the glass, your first sip will greet you with juicy cantaloupe and just a hint of lime with a long-lasting finish of rich supple pears, toasted almonds, and bright citrus fruits.
