Merryvale Description
Pale straw yellow in the glass, our 2018 Carneros Chardonnay bursts with aromas of lemon curd, pineapple, and light toast. A classic example of what Carneros fruit can offer, the wine is simultaneously layered and complex while alive with freshness and vibrancy. Barrel fermentation in 70% neutral French oak provides a medium richness while the natural acidity shines through. The structure and slight salinity are reminiscent of White Burgundy, and will complement a wide range of foods and feelings.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
The 2018 Chardonnay rolls effortlessly out of the glass with notes of yellow apples, Bosc pears and honeydew melon plus hints of wet pebbles and baking bread. The medium-bodied palate is crisp, clean and refreshing, delivering a great intensity of apple and pear flavors with a lively lift on the finish.
