Cuvaison Estate Chardonnay
Napa Valley, Los Carneros 2017
A year of warmth and opulence, the 2017
Estate Chardonnay offers aromas of honeysuckle,
jasmine, vanilla and clove spice.
The honeyed aromatics give way to unctuous fruit tones of pear and peach,
with lemony brightness that carries along the rich spice and toasty brioche notes.
This is a rich, plush and pleasing Chardonnay balanced beautifully by oak and refreshing fruit tones.
