Brevity Chardonnay Napa Valley '22

From cool-climate vineyards near Carneros, this Chardonnay shimmers with a pale green-gold hue. The nose enchants with delicate aromas of yellow peach, toasted almond, and struck flint with subtle oak spice. The palate delivers Burgundian finesse - flavors of lemon curd, brioche, and wet stone unfold with vibrant acidity (6.8 g/L TA) that earned 93-95 point accolades. Fermented with native yeasts and aged 10 months in French oak (35% new), this 14% alcohol wine finishes with a stony persistence. Pair with Dungeness crab or roasted poultry - the 2022 vintage shows Napa Chardonnay's continued evolution toward balance and restraint.
