This terroir creates a wine with aromas of Honeycrisp apple, brioche, white flowers, and Meyer lemon zest. The palate is a playful balance of rich and creamy textures with vibrant acidity. Flavors of Anjou pear, tropical fruits, hazelnut, vanilla, and oak spices round out its appeal; making it suited to enjoy on its own or pair well with a wide range of dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: 100% Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeautifully layered and slightly rich yet well balanced. A luxurious but fresh-tasting wine that leads with toasted almonds and brown butter, then crisp apples and Bosc pears.

Lovely cinnamon and nutmeg notes join a hint of pineapple custard, lime and just a bit of peach on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is rather broad and expansive but not over the top, with a bright, zesty lime-like finish. Around half the blend comes from an old-vine site in eastern Napa (planted 1978), with the balance from Coombsville and Carneros.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 pts. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"woodswholesalewine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49205650915584,"sku":"E 2A","price":31.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/0964\/7360\/files\/FAChardSq.png?v=1787086025","url":"https:\/\/gcona.com\/products\/2023-freemark-abbey-chardonnay-napa-valley-usa-750ml","provider":"Gcona","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
