This is a very enjoyable Chardonnay from Napa Valley. Nicely balanced and not to oaky, although it has enough of that.
Easy drinking with a pleasant mouthfeel. Soft and elegant, buttery and spicy. Really enjoyed the nose here.
Might have a small touch of RS to balance it out.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses, by the lake.
100% Chardonnay grapes were aged for 10 months in French and American oak barrels.

16.5/20 (90/100) Яркий малиново-земляничный аромат. Даже и не скажешь, что вину 27 лет. Не хватает кислотности, но это сортовое свойство чёрного муската. Приятное десертное вино. — 5 years ago
