"A Napa Valley classic, this unfiltered white wine is a must-try!"

"A Napa Valley classic, the 2021 Unfiltered Chardonnay continues a long tradition of excellence and offers aromas of toasted grains, caramelized pineapple, and ripe melon. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, it starts out generous and round, before tightening up and taking on citrus notes on the finish. 2023–2026” (The Wine Advocate 2023)

About the wine:

A Napa Valley classic, the 2021 Unfiltered Chardonnay continues a long tradition of excellence and offers aromas of toasted grains, caramelized pineapple, and ripe melon.

About the wine:

Subtle oak notes blend with rich flavors of golden apple, yellow peach, and pineapple in this medium-bodied, lightly oaked wine, which was barrel-fermented using native yeasts.

About the wine:

The 2021 Unfiltered Chardonnay has a pale gold color and offers a superb nose of stone fruits, honeyed white flowers, and spicy oak. Textured and medium-bodied, with lively acidity and remarkable balance, it is crafted in a richer style yet remains wonderfully pure and balanced. 2023–2027
