CAKEBREAD CELLARS Chardonnay - Napa Valley, California 2022/23 Bottle

Description

Cakebread Cellars has a long standing reputation for producing some of the most consistent and elegant whites in California. Their 2023 Napa Valley Chardonnay is a brilliant example of their restrained and thoughtful approach. Rather than being overly heavy or buttery, this wine focuses on brightness and purity of fruit.

On the nose, you will find crisp aromas of green apple, white peach, and a lovely hint of citrus blossom. It is aged in French oak, but the wood is used sparingly to add a subtle creamy texture and a touch of sweet spice without masking the natural freshness. The palate is clean and well structured with a zesty acidity that leads into a long and polished finish. It is a sophisticated and incredibly drinkable Napa classic. It pairs flawlessly with roasted poultry, creamy pasta dishes, or fresh seafood.
