| Notes | "The 2018 Chardonnay is a solid effort and will be loved by readers who like the richer, full-bodied style of Chardonnay. Buttered stone fruits, pineapple, white flowers, toasted bread, and brioche notes all flow to a beautifully balanced, medium to full-bodied Chardonnay that has good acidity and a clean finish." (Jeb Dunnuck) "A very typical Napa chardonnay with cooked apples, lemons and hints of yogurt and vanilla. Full-bodied, flavorful, creamy and lightly oily." (James Suckling) | |||
Additional Notes "The 2018 Chardonnay rolls effortlessly out of the glass with notes of yellow apples, Bosc pears and honeydew melon plus hints of wet pebbles and baking bread. The medium-bodied palate is crisp, clean and refreshing, delivering a great intensity of apple and pear flavors with a lively lift on the finish." (Wine Advocate) |
