Sensory Experience

With lemon meringue, nectarine, quince, and Gala apple aromas, our 2024 Chardonnay Napa Valley strikes the balance between ripeness and restraint. Crisp and bright character yields to creamy custard and caramel flavors with notes of shortbread and slate. Framed by native acidity, the wine remains lively and fresh through the finish.

Vintage

2024 was a vintage of contrasts, defined by generous winter rains and an extended stretch of summer heat. The early rains fortified the vines, fostering lush canopies that protected the fruit through intense sunshine. The vintage reveals a beautiful balance of power and poise, embodying the dynamic character of Napa Valley.

Winemaker Notes

Part of the beauty of our Napa and Russian River Chardonnays is in the identical winemaking philosophy with the only variance being the source of the fruit. The freckled, golden grapes are harvested while they still retain acidity, and then the wine undergoes fermentation in French oak barrels. Our Chardonnay Napa Valley is classic in style but distinct in flavor. Rich and lush, this Chardonnay is crafted to be a bold expression of Napa’s terroir.
