Chardonnay, Carneros-Napa Valley 2018

The goal for this wine is finesse and complexity which is enhanced by using long, slow, native fermentations. From the Napa side of Carneros, this Chardonnay is a beautiful golden color. The nose opens up with some roasted almonds and then evolves to floral and fruit notes including bergamot, pineapple, ripe peaches and citrus. In the mouth, the entry is very round and fresh with plenty of fruit flavors. The acidity is very soft, and guided by the minerality, balance and a lingering finish.
