TASTING NOTES
Nose: Sweet Meyer lemon, crushed almond and grilled pineapple
Palate: Concentrated, with bright lemon curd and orange blossom honey under fresh pear and a toasted nuttiness
Character: A hint of baking spice through the close
VARIETAL
Chardonnay
VINEYARDS
A marriage of three Napa Valley areas: bright, elegant Carneros hillside, rich, ripe St. Helena valley floor, and mountain fruit at its core
WINEMAKING
Aged mostly in one and two year old Pahlmeyer Chardonnay barrels, building texture while keeping the fruit character in clear view
CELLARING
Full and layered on release, and it will gain detail and depth over the next five to seven years
*Napa Chardonnay with real barrel texture but the fruit left out front.*
