A California classic, and has provided decades of proof that Napa Valley can easily and routinely make pure, acid-driven, old world balanced Chardonnay.

Pretty reductive on the nose to start but air cleared things and it showed well.

If you didn’t see the label one might taste a young Petit Chablis. Pale straw yellow with no hint of oxidation. Subdued nose of pear and apple and no dairy!
Dry but delicious fruit like the nose. A bit of honey and vanilla. This wine will keep going for years to come but why wait? Gulp it@down with friends

Subtle citrus with limestone. Citrus and a basket of herbs on the nose.
