Napa Valley, California, USA
I suppose there is no better place to start than with a fresh example of the wine that changed the game forever. This remains a very classic example of Napa Chardonnay in the most complimentary of ways. Ample fruit that lean on the more tropical (pineapple) side but falls short of being squishy. Lemon and lime citrus too. The oak is prominent for sure but it’s not a buttery mess. There’s good acid that gives plenty of lift and it finishes long. A very balanced wine that will probably benefit from 5+ years in the cellar.

Jun 19th, 2023Cool, fresh, very elegant. Nicely reductive.
This is quite complex and really lovely!
Restrained, very taught & focused. Precise. So elegant! Amazing depth and energy. I really like this. The 14.5% alc unnoticeable. Fresh, racy and really, really elegant. This is a complete wine. A stunner!

Can’t believe this was my first time trying this. Solid and a decent ‘value’ chard sub-$50.
