This classically styled Chardonnay is everything you’d want from a Napa white—vibrant, textured, and polished. With bright notes of lemon confit, Asian pear, and citrus blossom, it’s both refreshing and layered. The silky palate carries ripe stone fruit, creamy lime curd, and a touch of flinty minerality, all wrapped in elegant oak. A seamless blend of fruit from Coombsville and other cool southern Napa sites, it’s graceful now and built to evolve beautifully with time.
