Wine Profile
Production Notes
The 2019 growing season offered superlative growing conditions with abundant rain
continuing into late spring. Plenty of sunshine and moderate temperatures throughout
the spring and summer led up to a harvest with great crop quality.
Winemaker Notes
At Napa Cellars, the Chardonnay grapes are carefully hand-picked, harvested and crushed.
Fermented and aged in 100% French oak barrels, 32% of which were new, this wine
completes 88% malolactic fermentation and undergoes lees stirring for seven months.
Production
The Napa Cellars 2019 Chardonnay displays classic Napa Valley Chardonnay characteristics
indicative of this region. Aromas of D’anjou pear, crème fraiche, lemon rind, coconut
and soft jasmine floral notes with light, nutty toasted caramel and toffee excite the senses.
A soft mouthfeel supports flavors of Fuji apple, pineapple, apricot, kumquat and notes of
honeydew melon. A nice, round creamy texture leads into a long finish with refreshing,
persistent acidity that pulls together this well balanced, full-bodied Chardonnay. This is
the perfect wine to pair with a Camembert French cheese plate drizzled with local honey
and almond halves, or with panna cotta topped with fresh berries for dessert.
