Starting with the 2018 Chardonnay Stagecoach Vineyard, which comes from a site on Pritchard Hill, it has a medium gold color as well as a classic Napa Valley Chardonnay nose of buttered stone fruits, hazelnuts, golden cream, and toasted bread. Rich and medium to full-bodied, it has a wonderfully elegant, seamless texture as well as a great finish. If you like a richer yet balanced style of Chardonnay, you’ll love this. It should keep nicely for 3-4 years, if not longer.

(92-94+ points) A barrel sample, the 2018 Chardonnay leaps from the glass with expressive white peach, lemon curd and pink grapefruit notes with touches of fresh ginger, marzipan and brioche. The palate is medium to full-bodied with impressively restrained citrus and stone fruit notes sparked by savory nut and bread-inspired nuances, finishing long with some mineral notes coming through. - LPB
