Duckhorn Vineyards Napa Valley Chardonnay 2021
Duckhorn's new Chardonnay has arrived! Duckhorn's Napa Valley Chardonnay 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. This vintage showcases layers of white peach, nectarine, and melon followed by warm notes of nougat, creme broulee, and chai. This lush and elegant Duckhorn 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.

Pale lemon yellow color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits, white blossom and bright mineral scents. On the palate wine has a lush texture with flavors of apple, pear, melon, citrus and vanilla notes, silky with a long finish ending with fruit, floral, spice and creamy mineral character. Very nice! Pair this with a swordfish topped with a dill sauce!

Apple, lemon curd, honey, dried apricot, oak and hints of lime. Great acidity and minerality.

Nice, easy and light Chard - perfect accompaniment for sushi as it has a muted yet tasty profile from start to finish!

Movie theatre Butter flavored Starburst. Is a bit mean to say about this actually pretty quality chardonnay. The flavor profile is pretty complex with butter oaky and citrusy notes happening on the front and back there is a sweetness I don’t care for and chardonnay is not that good unless it is saline and citrusy and this is buttery not saline 4/10
