2021 North Valley Reserve Chardonnay

Our 2021 Reserve Chardonnay was fermented in 27% new French oak. The grapes were gently pressed as whole clusters and fermented to dryness in barrel. This wine underwent malolactic fermentation and was aged on the lees for ten months creating a deliciously silky palate.

"Notes of apples and white nectarines with sourdough, cashews and crushed stones. Medium- to full-bodied with vivid stone-fruit character and juicy acidity. Pretty and delicious. Well balanced, textured and crunchy with a flavorful finish. Drink now." James Suckling, 92 Points

"The 2021 Chardonnay Reserve Gran Moraine Vineyard lifts from the glass with a sweetly scented bouquet of wildflowers, mint and crushed yellow apples. Luxuriously round and soothing, it displays crisp orchard fruits and honeyed inner florals, contrasted by a saline mineral core. The 2021 tapers off with medium-length, youthful tension and crunchy orchard fruits." Eric Guido, Vinous Media, 91 Points
