Duckhorn Vineyard Napa Valley Chardonnay, California, United States, 2017  

100% Chardonnay with 10 months in oak (40% new) 

Both complex and alluring, this radiant Chardonnay opens up with aromas of pineapple, stone fruit and lime, as well as hints of white flowers and sweet French oak. On the palate, it is round and silky, with lively acidity and abundant minerality balancing the underlying richness and adding poise to the lush flavors of apple, peach and creamy lemon curd. 

"The 2017 Chardonnay features bright, youthful grapefruit, fresh lemons and pineapple notes with touches of baking bread and allspice. Medium-bodied, elegant and refreshing, it has a silken texture and bags of citrus flavors, finishing spicy." Lisa Perrotti Brown 91/100 robertparker.com
