Tasting notes
From a generous vintage, the 2018 Chardonnay Napa Valley is all Oak Knoll Fruit and spent 11 months in 38% new French oak. It has a classic and pure style as well as lots of stone fruits, white flowers, crushed citrus, and a touch of mineral-like aromas and flavors. It's beautifully done.

The 2018 Chardonnay is a soft, easygoing wine to drink now and over the next few years. Light tropical notes, orchard fruit and lemon confit add nuance to this decidedly hushed, understated Chardonnay.
The 2018 Chardonnay reveals drop-dead gorgeous notes of honey-drizzled apricots, candied ginger and spiced pear with hints of marzipan, croissant, orange blossoms and lemongrass. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers intense stone fruit and cedar-kissed pears flavors with a racy line and long, spicy finish.
