Wine Review: This clear and straw-colored Chardonnay from Sequoia Grove opens with a pineapple and oak bouquet with hints vanilla and cantaloupe. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, rich, and concentrated. The flavor profile is an oak influenced pineapple and pear blend with notes of stony minerality and green tea. I also detected hints of white pepper and baked apple. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity linger and last for a while. I would pair this Chard with warm lobster roll. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Aromas on the nose of the 2023 Napa Valley Chardonnay reveal lively notes of white pineapple, lemon curd, and apricot preserves, with hints of jasmine and orange blossom followed by a touch of ocean salinity. The palate is complex with flavors of white peach, lemon meringue, toasted vanilla bean, wet stone, and crushed granite that join with a vibrant, balanced acidity making this Chardonnay extremely versatile for pairing with a variety of dishes. This medium-bodied Chardonnay is creamy, round, bright and balanced, delighting the senses.
