2022 VGS Chardonnay
NAPA VALLEY

A blend of 68% Bald Mountain Vineyard, Mount Veeder, Napa Valley &
32% Bacigalupi Vineyard, Russian River Valley, Sonoma Valley
These two cool vineyard sites produce a bright and zesty wine with vibrant acidity and laser-focused minerality.
Aromatically, this wine jumps from the glass onto your palate!
It is a seductive wine with a great energy. Intoxicating and warm aromas of yellow peach, nectarines, apricot oil, almond croissants, cardamom spice and lime sorbet.
In the mouth, a wonderful and fresh acidity frame this solid Chardonnay making it a great wine for the cellar. The citrus once again takes its place at center stage in this rock-n-roll wine in the mouth. On the palate, it is rich and luscious without being heavy.
This wine is delicious now but will continue to mature and develop more complex flavors and aromas over the next 5-8 years in your cellar.
