Tasting notes
This estate turned out a terrific 2018 Chardonnay Napa Valley that has a ripe, honeyed, tropical style as well as good freshness and purity on the palate. Medium-bodied, with lively acidity, drink it over the coming 2-4 years.

The 2018 Chardonnay is positively brilliant. Lemon peel, white flowers, mint and white pepper give the 2018 a whole range of very pretty top notes. In 2018, the O'Shaughnessy Chardonnay offers a striking interplay of energy and texture that is just mesmerizing. Two thousand eighteen is one of the best vintages of this Chardonnay I can remember tasting.
The 2018 Chardonnay Oakville bursts from the glass with bold honeydew melon, pink grapefruit and green guava scents with hints of orange blossoms, fresh ginger and toasted almonds. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with melon and citrus flavors, framed with an electric backbone of freshness and featuring loads of spicy sparks on the long, decadently creamy finish. Impressive! 425 cases were made.
