Chappellet
Napa Valley Chardonnay


Creamy pear and melon fruit, with balanced acidity. Medium to full bodied. Has the richness and sheen of a pouilly fuissé but with dimensions of tropical fruit and very well integrated hazelnut/vanilla oak.

Not normally my favorite style, with the malo and oak nudging the primary fruit flavors aside. Still, this is so well made, with great structure and balance that I can't help liking it. Darn tasty.

Richness in fruit jumping from the glass. Brûléed banana. Reflected on the palate but achieves balance. $18.99
