TASTING NOTES:
A fragrant, ripe-peach and pear-compote nose with spiced-bread notes. The palate has smooth, creamy texture and a supple, gently toasty, grilled-peach and hazelnut finish.

The 2018 Chardonnay Oakville bursts from the glass with bold honeydew melon, pink grapefruit and green guava scents with hints of orange blossoms, fresh ginger and toasted almonds. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with melon and citrus flavors, framed with an electric backbone of freshness and featuring loads of spicy sparks on the long, decadently creamy finish. Impressive!

This estate turned out a terrific 2018 Chardonnay Napa Valley that has a ripe, honeyed, tropical style as well as good freshness and purity on the palate. Medium-bodied, with lively acidity, drink it over the coming 2-4 years.
