The 2016 Chardonnay displays compelling pear tart, warm peaches and spice cake scents with touches of baking bread and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, the palate gives invigorating freshness with loads of apple and stone fruit layers, finishing on a spicy note. 3,700 cases produced.
Coming from all over the valley, the 2016 Chardonnay offers a rich, textured yet balanced style as well as classic Chardonnay notes of honeysuckle, flower oil, tangerine, and lemon curd. It’s a full-throttle, Napa-styled Chardonnay to drink over the coming 2-4 years.
