2020 Quilt Chardonnay Napa Valley

Winemaker Notes: Quilt Chardonnay is a pale straw yellow with golden hues. Honeysuckle, crisp green apple, persimmon, white fig, and Asian pear with notes of blanched almonds and floral notes. On the palate, juicy pineapple and mango, Fuji apple, papaya, and honey followed by hints of lemon custard and toasted almond. This is a classic Napa Valley Chardonnay with bright acidity, medium bodied, and a smooth, creamy finish. Complex and well-balanced with a lively finish. Pair with chicken alfredo pasta, salmon with feta, and arugula on a bed of quinoa, or arugula, feta, and pomegranate salad with a light honey mustard dressing.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Tasting Panel - "Spiced apple pie and white-peppered lemon tart spread over the palate of this clean and lean wine, joined by dynamic acidity and sensational floral tones."


James Suckling - "Aromas of crushed herbs, fresh mint, grapefruit and wet minerals. Medium-to full-bodied. Begins fresh, but evolves into pleasant, mature character. Lemon peel turns to sliced almond and flint. A bit chewy. Tasty."
