92 Points Jeb Dunnuck: Coming all from Carneros and Coombsville and aged in 43% new French oak, the 2022 Chardonnay Napa Valley is medium gold-hued and has a gorgeous perfume of honeyed tangerine, exotic flowers, and subtle baking spice notes in a medium-bodied, layered, rounded, beautifully textured profile on the palate.91Points Robert ParkerA blend of fruit from Carneros (60%) and Coombsville (40%) and barrel fermented in 43% new French oak, the 2022 Chardonnay features subtle buttered toast notes, paired with pear, melon and pineapple fruit. Medium to full-bodied, with partial malolactic fermentation, this plump, round wine is pretty standard Napa stuff but done really well.
Winemaker Notes
Chardonnay thrives in the cool climates of their vineyard sites near the bay. This terroir creates a wine with aromas of Honeycrisp apple, brioche, white flowers, and Meyer lemon zest. The palate is a playful balance of rich and creamy textures with vibrant acidity. Flavors of Anjou pear, tropical fruits, hazelnut, vanilla, and oak spices round out its appeal; making it suited to enjoy on its own or pair well with a wide range of dishes.
