90pts Wine Enthusiast

Another selection from the Duckhorn Portfolio, this one is their holdings in the California appellation series. This is classic California Chardonnay, which is destined to become someone's favorite. The aromas on the nose are rich, ripe yellow apple, Asian pear, notes of cinnamon, vanilla, and dried orange blossoms. The Palate is fresh, with concentrated ripe stone fruit intertwined with mineral, acidity, citrus, sugar snap peas, and a dry mineral finish.

Winemaker Notes

Radiant aromas of ripe tangerine, sweet melon, and tropical mango mingle with delicate oak spice. The palate is round and full, with bright acidity and a supple backbone of sweet oak, layered with notes of juicy mango, pineapple, and a touch of vanilla.
