Cuvaison Chardonnay Napa Valley Carneros 2016

91 points Wine Enthusiast: "This estate-grown wine shows a balance of fleshy peach and mango settled on a light-bodied frame. There's a backbone of oak and a stony texture that offers support to the broad fruit flavors. Alcohol 14.1%. (Oct 2018)"

Producer notes: "The 2016 Estate Chardonnay is brimming with stone fruit, white blossoms and lovely notes of vanilla and clove. A gorgeous vintage in Napa Valley, the wine is quite opulent, with a plush texture buoyed by white peach and honeysuckle notes. Despite its apparent richness, the wine has the trademark focus and lingering finish that our Los Carneros estate is prized for. 60% malolactic fermentation. Barrel aged 14 months in French oak (20% new). Alcohol 14.1%."
