A mix of fruit from Saint Helena, Oak Knoll and Carneros, the 2021 Chardonnay Napa Valley was barrel fermented in 30% new American oak. The result is toasty and vanilla tinged but also flush with fruity flavors of peach, pear and pineapple. It's medium to full-bodied, plump and round, having completed malolactic fermentation. The finish is a bit soft and short but picks up attractive hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. It's a fun, easy-drinking Napa Chardonnay that won't break the bank. RP

Aromas of ripe Anjou pear and creme brulee complement layers of ripe peach, golden apple and lemon shortbread on the palate. The velvety mouthfeel is balanced by bright acidity that carries through a fresh finish with a hint of spice.
