Butter butter butter. There’s no doubt that Napa was not a seabed littered with seashells a few million years ago like burgundy. Pleasant but one dimensional.

No confusing this with an Old World Chardonnay. Lemon notes help tame this prototypical big Napa Chardonnay. Butter? Yup. Oak? Yup. Tropical? Yup. It just manages to pull it all together and not be too toasty or tropical. If you like big Napa Chardonnay, you will enjoy it, especially given that Darioush isn’t particularly known for their Chardonnay. Drinking nicely now and probably near peak, though not showing any noticeable signs of imminent danger.
