Savory, salty toasted almond aromas lead to mineral, Bosc pear and chalk flavors in this medium-bodied, umami-oriented wine. Mushrooms, seaweed and oyster liquor join bruised apples on the palate. Unusual and fascinating. Drink now.
2023 Bunny Hills ChardonnayLos Carneros, Napa Valley
The 2023 Bunny Hills Chardonnay showcases the refinement of our estate vineyard with sophisticated delicacy and sleek textures. The nose offers fragrant apple blossom, stone fruit and beeswax aromas with subtle mineral under tones. The palate builds on these promises with luminous notes of golden apple and white nectarine, elegant white flowers, and a sleek backbone of river rock minerality that sustains the spectacularly unhurried finish.
