Tasting Notes

Boasting a glorious shimmering golden hue, with bright and lively aromatic notes of lemon crème, white pineapple, and melon. Delicate citrus blossoms and magnolia flowers add a floral elegance on the nose. The ripe and full palate offers flavors of Golden Delicious apples, Asian pear, and lemon curd. Spiced oak notes of vanilla, brioche toast, and ginger complement the fruit, while exotic floral notes provide a lovely perfume. Full-bodied with a creamy texture, the finish is long and satisfying, highlighted by hints of lychee and a beautiful mineral character.

“Vibrant aromas of lemon pith, grapefruit, matchsticks and macadamia nuts. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with tightly wound acidity and a generous texture, giving flavors of red apples, quince and lime curd. A balance of power and energy with no malolactic fermentation. Drink or hold.” — JamesSuckling.com, January 2025

“The 2023 Chardonnay pops from the glass with notes of ripe yellow apples and Bosc pears, plus underlying hints of baking bread, orange blossoms, and ginger ale. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers a lot of zip and zing with a satisfying satiny texture and bags of orchard fruit flavors, finishing long and spicy.” —Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

      Vintage Notes
      2023 delivered one of the most prolonged and compact harvests in recent Napa Valley history. The long growing season delayed the start of harvest until the fifth of September—two and a half weeks later than the previous year. This posed a logistical challenge in the cellar as tanks quickly filled. Additionally, there was concern about completing the harvest before the rainy season. Our winemaking team rose to the occasion and made the 2023 harvest season a bountiful yield of exceptional quality fruit. The grapes displayed intense color and complex flavors, maintaining a vibrant acidity that adds a distinctive character to what will surely be remembered as an excellent wine collector’s vintage.
