2019 VINTAGE Heavy spring rains enriched the soils and delayed bud break by a few weeks. A heat spike in June, followed by warm weather, brought even veraison throughout the vineyards. A cooling trend and touch of rain in mid-September created ideal conditions for the 2019 harvest which is considered a near-perfect vintage.
WINEMAKER’S NOTES The grapes for this Napa Valley Chardonnay were harvested in the early morning hours from vineyards across Napa Valley. The wine was aged for 11 months in 20% new French oak barrels before being bottled.

TASTING NOTES Enticing aromas of pear, green apple, lemon zest and key lime pie waft from the glass. Crisp flavors of mango and peach are complimented by notes of toasted almonds and honeysuckle. This Chardonnay has a lovely mouthfeel and bright acidity that leads to a nice subtle creaminess and lime zest on the finish.
