TASTING NOTE'S:
Fermented in stainless steel (12%) and a mix of French and Hungarian oak (88%), this wine ages seven months in barrel. Tropical amomas of pineapple and gardenia continue on the palate, along with vanilla, jasmine, and salty cashew brittle. Creamy with vivacious acidity and a finish of lemon drop and cinnamon.
-Tasting Panel, 93 pts
This wine was largely barrel fermented and aged in 22% new oak for seven months. It offers a mix of tropical and stone fruit, with underlying acidity that adds energy and verve to an otherwise rich, rounded experience.
-Wine Enthusiast, 90 pts
A medium-bodied white with layers of peach, cream, wet stones and lemon zest. Almonds, too. Crisp and creamy. Drink now.

WINEMAKER'S NOTE:
The 2018 Silverado Carneros Chardonnay exudes aromas and flavors of golden delicious apple, lemon curd and stone. Vibrant acidity is balanced by a soft, round texture and a lemon meringue pie finish.
