Tasting notes
Another bright, almost racy Chardonnay from this team, the 2018 Chardonnay Nancie reveals a beautiful chalky, mineral-laced lemon and honeysuckle-driven perfume that carries to a medium-bodied, beautifully balanced Chardonnay with racy acidity. It has the class to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and drink nicely for over a decade.

The 2018 Chardonnay Nancie is lightly scented of yellow apples, beeswax and white flowers with a smoky, mineral undertone. The palate is light-bodied with bright, gently nutty and citrusy character and a juicy finish. 725 cases produced.
Donelan's 2018 Chardonnay Nancie is bright, focused and wonderfully nuanced. Citrus and floral notes are nicely lifted in this very pretty, ethereal Chardonnay from Donelan. Lively acids give the 2018 terrific energy and delineation. The Nancie is a blend from sites in Knights Valley, Sonoma Mountain and the Russian River.
