2023 Chardonnay PNV Auction 28 Lot 20

Granny Smith apple, lime zest, gooseberry and pear blossom mingle together in the glass, supported by fresh chervil and tarragon. Raised in neutral oak with only partial malolactic fermentation, this is a lean and snappy style of Napa Chardonnay, with electric lingering acidity that speaks to the low and cool growing season of 2023. A slight saline quality gives the wine a savory edge. So fresh and zippy – perfect for warm weather sipping.
