2021 Quilt Napa Valley Chardonnay [JS91][JD90][WA90]

"Aromas of sliced apple, apricot and lemon curd. It’s full-bodied and creamy with some toasted hazelnut, too. Smooth with balanced acidity. Drink now. Screw cap." 

"Lots of toasted spice, caramelized stone fruits, lemon curd, and a kiss of minerality emerge from the 2018 Chardonnay. It's nicely balanced, medium-bodied, and a good value that should keep for 3-4 years." 

"The 2018 Chardonnay from Quilt Wines delivers fresh apricots, honeydew melon and green guava scents, followed by hints of nutmeg, lemon curd and lime blossoms. The medium to full-bodied palate fills the mouth with citrus and stone fruit flavors, backed by refreshing acidity and a satiny texture, finishing with a spicy kick." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Pale straw yellow with golden hues. Juicy white peach, honeysuckle, pear, white plum, and nectarine with notes of citrus and star anise. Refreshing stone fruit, kiwi, apricot, nectarine, and meyer lemon zest followed by hints of lightly toasted oak. Bright, medium bodied, and rich with smooth and generous layers. Complex, mouthwatering acidity with a lively finish."
