Conn Creek Chardonnay Reserve Carneros Napa Valley 2024
Regular price
$50.00
The aromatics on this 100% Chardonnay reserve wine are complex, with initial aromas of ripe pear and green apple, underscored by notes of vanilla and baking spices from the barrel fermentation. Subtle hints of tropical fruits, such as pineapple and lychee, emerge alongside notes of citrus zest and a touch of floral jasmine. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-balanced. The initial flavors echo the nose, with pronounced notes of ripe stone fruit, particularly peach and apricot, complemented by a round and textured mid-palate. The influence of the oak adds layers of complexity, while the bright acidity from the cool, maritime Carneros growing conditions provide freshness and balance to the richness. Only 48 barrels of this Conn Creek Chardonnay Reserve were produced, each crafted with 20% new French oak and 100% malolactic fermentation under the artful guidance of esteemed winemaker Jean Hoefliger.
