"A Napa Valley classic, this unfiltered white wine is to be enjoyed without the slightest hesitation!"
"A classic from the Napa region, Unfiltered 2021 Chardonnay continues a long tradition of excellence, offering aromas of toasted grain, caramelized pineapple and ripe melon. Between medium- and full-bodied, it starts out generous and round, before tightening and taking on citrus notes on the finish. 2023-2026" (The Wine Advocate 2023)

Wine Enthusiast
Wine rated (guide 2023) 93/100
About the wine:
Subtle oak spice mingles with plenty of golden apple, yellow peach and pineapple flavors in this medium-bodied, lightly oaked wine, which was barrel fermented with indigenous yeasts.

About the wine:
Unfiltered 2021 Chardonnay is pale gold in color, with a superb nose of stone fruit, honeyed white flowers and spicy oak. Textured and medium-bodied, with lively acidity and remarkable balance, it is made in a richer style but remains wonderfully pure and balanced. 2023-2027
