Duckhorn Vineyards Napa Valley Chardonnay 2014
Duckhorn's new Chardonnay has arrived! Duckhorn's second vintage of Napa Valley Chardonnay, this beautiful new release draws from premium vineyards throughout the Napa Valley to create a lush, richly fruited Chardonnay that is aged in oak for an elegantly textured, complex and toasty style. According to winemaker Renee Ary, "what I like about this wine is that it is a classic. It follows in the Duckhorn style in that is elegant, balanced, bold, and has acidity that carries through to the finish. The 2014 vintage showcases layers of white peach, nectarine, and melon followed by warm notes of nougat, creme broulee, and chai. This lush and elegant Chardonnay offers vivid aromas of white peach, lime, melon and vanilla bean, followed by undertones of praline, fresh pie dough and pistachio gelato. On the palate, flavors of Bosc pear, honeycrisp apple and Meyer lemon are underscored by beautifully balanced oak, which lends warm nuances and layers of complexity that carry through to the long, silky finish.

Apple, cedar, lemon curd, honey, oak and hints of butterscotch. Great acidity and minerality.

Founded in 1976, Duckhorn has been crafting varietals from the Napa Valley for over 30 years. Fresh fruit aromas with citrus and honey scents. On the palate peach, apple and lemon zest flavors with sweet vanilla and toasty notes. Savory, well balanced on lingering finish, great mouthfeel ending with mineral tones.

I wish it was winter so that I could turn this wine into ice blocks and skate on it, and in the spring time it'd melt and I'd drink from it. It's magical. It's laughing at me. I wanna stick my dick in it.

Oaky and buttery, with ripe pear, some citrus notes, slightly chalky, medium-bodied. Nice complement to halibut and beurre blanc.
