2024 Gibbs Napa Valley Chardonnay, Napa Valley, USA (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES: 

Medium yellow, with golden highlights. The nose is vibrant, featuring yellow apple, toasted hazelnuts, fresh cream, and earthy button mushrooms. On the palate, the wine unfolds to reveal layers of baked apples, honeysuckle, orange marmalade, roasted almonds, caramel, and a hint of light baking spice. The texture remains creamy and soft, with a subtle phenolic bitterness on the finish that provides structure and depth. This is a quintessential Napa Valley Chardonnay that offers exceptional value. Drink now–2030.

TASTING NOTES:

Generous aromas of lemon confit, orchard fruit, salted nuts and crushed stones. The palate is mid-weighted and rounded, with balanced acidity and a phenolic grip. Nicely constructed. Drink now.
