Robert Keenan Winery
Napa Valley Chardonnay
Spring Mountain District, Napa Valley, California, USA
Light golden in color.
Strong nose of citrus, apples, lemons, light earth, pears, light oak and spices.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with red apples, lemons, limes, light wood, spices, light nuts and sea salt.
Tangy finish with lemons and light earth notes.
This 5 year old Chardonnay from Spring Mountain District in Napa Valley is still drinking very fresh, which I loved. Rich and smooth, nicely balanced and elegant, with a generous mouthfeel.
I had this vintage 2 years ago and it is drinking better now. Complex, fruit forward and interesting, with a light buttery mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, easy drinking, and good by itself as a sipping wine.
100% Chardonnay grapes were handpicked and aged for 7 months, on the lees, in French and American oak barrels.
13.9% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$40.

You know, there are occasional Napa chards that are well balanced, and this is one of them. Lean ish but not really Hahhaha. Got really ripe as it warmed up. I take that back. Meh ish. Oof.

A little muted on the nose, no noticeable vanilla or spicy notes from oak, lemon curd. Lovely crystalline texture and taste on the palate, just tasting fruit grown in the sun with a creamy foundation, well crafted in an obviously difficult year. #napavalley #chardonnay

Library purchase from the winery in November. A touch of oxidation provided some caramel notes - nice bottle.

Grand cru good, with notes of apple pastry and orange blossom building from a floral nose, and note of golden apples, some light baking spice but just feels like liquid gold on the palate, with a surprisingly mineral driven finish. Really really good.
