Chardonnay Linda Vista Vineyard Napa - 2022
Chardonnay with a crisp finish and haunting minerality, thanks to the harmonious interplay of Meyer lemon's zing with juicy Golden Delicious apples, yellow peaches, musk melon, and honey. The wines from the Linda Vista vineyard are known for their balanced alcohol content, bright acidity, and rich creaminess. This delightful wine is all about the pleasure, and it's made from organic grapes that grow behind the house in Napa. The only thing missing is some oysters or a roast chicken to wash it down with. Flavors are robust, with the usual balance and even more length, from a relatively tiny harvest.
