2022 Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay Reserve Carneros Napa Valley

Winemaker Notes: Our Chardonnay Reserve opens with rich aromas of ripe golden apple, pear and a hint of citrus. On the palate the wine is complex and concentrated, blending ripe orchard fruit flavors with baking spices and melon. The long and balanced finish leaves notions of vanilla, sweet apple, and delicate hints of oak.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "A classic Carneros wine that’s just a bit restrained, and so complex. It’s well balanced, fresh and linear, with complex toast, almond and vanilla notes complementing lively green apple and lemon zest flavors. At 13.8% alcohol, it’s a bit lighter than is typical here."
