Aromatics of lemon curd and honey crisp apple are lifted by linden flower, a subtle flintiness and zesty ginger spice. In the mouth, white peach, fresh chervil, brioche and minerally nuances transition to bright lemon-orange citrus, which adds refreshing zeal to the textured and sumptuous finish. A striking chardonnay of classic cut and balance.

Our 2019 Napa Valley Chardonnay reflects the balance of this lovely vintage perfectly. Harvested in multiple passes from September 12th through September 28th, the grapes used to produce this wine maintained a lively acidity despite the warm and sunny vintage conditions. Each lot of grapes was harvested by hand in the early hours of the morning, beginning at midnight and concluding before dawn, so that cold grapes could be whole-cluster pressed first thing in the morning (which minimizes extraction of any harsh skin phenolics into the wine). The wines were barrel fermented in 10% new French oak, with weekly stirring of the lees, before being blended and bottled in July 2020. This wine is delicious now but was also conscientiously crafted with no exposure to oxygen in order to assure that it can also age beautifully.

The 2022 Chardonnay (Napa Valley) has a quite a bit of density and power—surprisingly so. Lemon confit, marzipan, herbs and white flowers are nicely delineated. Partially blocked malolactic fermentation keeps the flavors brisk. What stands out most is the wine's mid-palate richness. Bright saline notes play off lightly tropical overtones on the finish.

Bright citrus, orange blossom, white flowers, and a kiss of minerality all emerge from the 2022 Chardonnay from Pride, a medium-bodied, clean, classy Chardonnay that has sweet fruit, good balance, and outstanding length.
