2021
Signature Collection

Chardonnay
SKU: RECH213H

Voluptuous whites are richer in texture, thanks to riper fruit. Most are dry wines that feature the added flavor complexity of new oak barrel use, but a handful are lusciously-sweet late-harvested dessert wines.

FOOD PAIRING: Ideally suited to richer dishes and cooked foods, like GRILLED OR FRIED SEAFOOD, POULTRY & WHITE MEATS, plus dishes featuring BUTTER, ONIONS or NUTS.

Tasting Notes
Aroma: 

The 2021 vintage of our Signature Collection Chardonnay opens with bright and crisp aromas of honeysuckle, Asian pear and a touch of orange blossom. 

Palate: 

Fresh notes are highlighted by enticing flavors of honeydew with a touch of vanilla. Luscious on the palate with traces of pure vanilla, the finish is balanced with bright acidity.

Winemaking
Vintage Notes: 

The grapes for our Signature Collection Napa Valley Chardonnay are grown in two blocks of our estate vineyard in Jameson Canyon, located in southern Napa Valley, just east of Carneros. The grapes spend afternoons in temperatures warmer than the valley floor, but the mornings and evenings are spent in fog with cool, marine breezes ultimately helping to evenly ripen the grapes. This area is ideal for producing Chardonnay with bright acidity and creamy, citrus flavors.
