Grower Collection Calesa Vineyard Five Blocks Petaluma Gap Chardonnay

For more than 4 decades, the Chappellet family has been crafting wines from fruit cultivated on the slopes of Napa Valley. Aromas of ripe stone fruits, citrus, honey and floral scents, aged in 40% new oak. On the palate layers of fruit, apple, lemon and peach with balanced acidity and gentle toasty oak. Long smooth finish ending with fruit and oak tones, a bit creamy. Very well done. A joy to drink.

Oaky vanilla stone fruit delight. HVD

Blinded Napa Chard but wasn’t expecting Petaluma Gap. Medium butterscotch/vanilla oak-influence, retaining very drinkable acid.
