WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Fresh and lively in appearance, the 2022 Chardonnay shows delicate floral and citrus blossom notes on the nose, with undertones of sandalwood, ripe apple and juicy pineapple. Aromas are echoed on the palate, with hints of lychee and pear and a layer of tropical notes not often seen in this vineyard block. Active malolactic conversion during primary fermentation contributed to a lush, sumptuous mouthfeel.
Oakville Ranch is the original mountain vineyard of the Oakville sub-appellation, a tiny district that produces some of Napa Valley's most celebrated Cabernets. The winery has crafted singular wines expressive of its distinctive terroir since 1989, when founders Robert and Mary Miner purchasing the historic property with its century-old winery building and existing vineyards.
