Napa Cellars 2019 Chardonnay, Napa Valley

Description

Once the Rombauer estate, now owned by the Trinchero family, Napa Cellars produces succulent Chardonnay from the cooler vineyards of Napa Valley. The fruit for this 2019 Napa Cellars Chardonnay was sourced from select vineyards in prime Chardonnay locations including Carneros and Oak Knoll. The cool weather influences in the southern part of the valley enabled an extended growing season. After the grapes were harvested and crushed, a quarter of the juice was cold fermented in stainless steel tanks while the balance was put into small French oak barrels. The wine was then put through malolactic fermentation and aged in barrel for a total of 7 months in 32% new oak.Tasting Panel Magazine scored this 93 points saying “This white offers up incredible value; scintillating aromas of jasmine, patchouli, and fig; and a captivating, creamy mouthfeel.
