Very good quality for the price. Neither the oaky buttery style so common in California chardonnays nor the hard dry mineralic Chablis style, but a pleasant compromise. Light citrus tones and a clean finish make for very easy drinking.

Cream, oak, pineapple, popcorn aromas. Lots of precision on the palate. Great acid, not as blowsy as the aromas suggest. I like this significantly more than the regular Chappellet Napa Chardonnay.

Lemon curd aromas. Sweet fruit aromas. Wonderful palate, and very youthful. Shows some bitter woodiness on the palate. Palate shows a little bit tropical banana, but really nice acid on the palate for Chard of this heft.

An terrific single vineyard Chardonnay. A beautiful nose, excellent on the pallet with a long finish. And, a great $25 price point.
