2020 Artesa Carneros Chardonnay
Description: | This Chardonnay represents the essence of Artesa's Estate Vineyard in Los Carneros, Napa Valley. Our winemaker Ana Diogo-Draper makes her picking decisions by carefully balancing the fruit's natural acidity with optimum flavor, resulting in a wine that is elegantly restrained yet possesses incredible depth and texture. Showing a true sense of place, this wine elegantly opens with citrus notes of Meyer lemon, delicately wrapped in white blossom and lemongrass rounding out the mid-palate. Ana's restrained use of oak lends a wine that is balanced and silky smooth on the palate. The wine finishes with crisp acidity, and hints of Honeycrisp apple, stone fruit, and vanilla bean. As this wine is enjoyable in its youth, those who show restraint will be rewarded as this wine will age with finesse and continue to develop for years to come. Artesa Vineyards & Winery's roots date back to the 1980's when the Raventós family, heirs of the Spanish winemaking dynasty CodornÃu, began to acquire and develop vineyard land in the Carneros region of Napa Valley. |
