Napa Valley Wine and Food Excursion 2017; 11/7/2017-11/11/2017 (Napa Valley, California): Aged for eight months in French oak (40% new), only 1% of this wine was allowed to proceed with malolactic fermentation. This is a vibrant Chardonnay with up-front pear, pit fruit, green apple, honey and wet stone aromas. Medium-bodied, judiciously oaked and with seamless alcohol (listed as 14.2%), it is rich in the middle and finishes with excellent length. This is a Napa Chardonnay with ripe flavors but also with good structure. Enjoy it over the next 7-8 years. Drink now-2025.
