O'Shaughnessy Oakville Chardonnay 2023

Rare new Chardonnay from one of our favorite small Napa wineries!  The O'Shaughnessy Oakville Chardonnay is the new release from one of our favorite boutique Napa producers.  92 Points Vinous: "The O'Shaughnessy 2023 Chardonnay Oakville is brisk and refreshing. Lemon peel, white flowers, marzipan and mint are nicely delineated in this aromatically high-toned Chardonnay. Blocking the malolactic fermentation keeps this bright and light on its feet. Pretty tropical notes linger on the close." Founding winemaker, Sean Capiaux, has established an impressive and notable career over the past twenty six years at prominent wineries around the globe.
