Our 2016 Napa Valley Chardonnay relies primarily on fruit from two AVAs: Oakville, a mid-valley region with warm days and cool evenings that produce generously-fruited, richly-textured Chardonnay, and the Oak Knoll District, a cooler, more southerly appellation with grapes that bring fresh acidity and citrus fruit flavors to the wine. The wine was fermented in stainless steel and aged in a combination of new and seasoned French and American oak barrels, with bi-weekly lees stirring and 20% malolactic fermentation.
