2023 Napa Valley Chardonnay

The 2023 Chardonnay was made from a selection of Chardonnay vineyards that Doug Hill has close connections with or manages himself. Due to the focus and flexibility of Doug’s team, we were able to harvest excellent Chardonnay from multiple sites to secure the layered expression our Napa Valley Chardonnay deserves. Made with no malolactic influence and only light oak, this crisp and fruity Chardonnay will please people looking for a wine that enhances food and holds its own out on the patio.

Winemaker Alison Doran’s tasting notes:  The 2023 Chardonnay has a beautiful floral nose showing the versatility of the Chardonnay grape. Aromas of lemon blossom, ripe golden apple, and caramel circle the glass. On the palate, the wine shows excellent intensity and balance, with flavors of apple, coconut and toasted almond flavors. The underlying creamy texture gives the wine luscious appeal, even though it has very little oak influence and no malolactic fermentation
