2011 Cuttings Wharf Vineyard Chardonnay, Carneros, Napa Valley
This fragrant Chardonnay is redolent of ripe golden apple, melon and citrus fruit, with secondary coconut and vanilla bean scents. The palate offers rich, ripe, green apple, melon and guava flavors bolstered by a pleasing mineral tone in the long, crisp finish. From Cuttings Wharf Ranch, one of four vineyards we own in southern Napa Valley’s cool-climate Carneros region. Still a youngster, this beautifully balanced Chardonnay will profit from additional bottle aging and should drink beautifully over the next 3 to 5 years.
