🏰The 2019 Vineyard 7 & 8 Estate Chardonnay is a superb example of world-class quality, hailing from an excellent Napa Valley vintage characterized by ample rainfall and a long, warm summer that fostered vibrant and expressive wines. This uncommon high-elevation white, crafted from relatively old vines, offers 【aromatics that explode off the nose with tropical tones like pineapple crème brûlée, lychee, a fresh vibrancy, flint, and toasted honeycomb】. On the palate, it reveals an incredible texture with well-integrated oak, complementing kaffir lime, white pepper, honeysuckle, and white flower nuances, culminating in a gorgeous satiny texture with layers of stone fruit and melon flavors and savory/spicy accents. 🍴 This rich and textured Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, rich seafood like lobster or scallops, creamy pasta dishes, and aged cheeses. 🥂 With its incredible texture and potential to age extremely well for 15-20 years, this wine is ideal for special occasions or for those looking to cellar a world-class Chardonnay.
