Both complex and alluring, this radiant Chardonnay opens up with aromas of pineapple, stone fruit, and lime, as well as hints of white flowers and sweet French oak. On the palate, it is round and silky, with lively acidity and abundant minerality balancing the underlying richness and adding poise to the lush flavors of apple, peach, and creamy lemon curd.

100% Chardonnay grape blend.

Estate

Dan and Margaret Duckhorn found Duckhorn Vineyards, which becomes one of the first 40 Napa Valley wineries. They also purchase our original 10-acre property in beautiful St. Helena. Named Marlee’s Vineyard, after Margaret, this idyllic property will later become home to the beautiful Duckhorn Vineyards Estate House.

Winemaking

Dedicated to making classic wines that reflect the unique character and quality of the vineyards, Renée strives to understand the needs and opportunities presented by each specific terroir and microclimate. By approaching each vineyard block individually, Renée’s goal is to harvest when the flavors have reached their peak and the tannins are at their softest.

Food Suggestions

Pairs well with pork, rich fish such as salmon and tuna, vegetarian and poultry dishes.

James Suckling – 93

"A full-bodied, creamy white, showing lots of ripe fruit on the nose with peach pie, baked apple and mango, followed by hazelnut and custard pastry on the palate. Crisp acidity. Drink or hold."

Wine.com – 90

"COMMENTARY: The 2018 Duckhorn Vineyards Chardonnay has been one of Napa Valley's most consistent, high-level white wines. TASTING NOTES: This wine showcases an array of savory spices, dried earth, and peach skin aromas and flavors. Pair it with crispy-skin roast chicken over rice pilaf."

Wine Enthusiast – 90

"With grapes from such stellar sites as Hudson, Trefethen, Antinori and Stanley Ranch, this white is lush, seamless and sound across the board. It is approachable and fleshy in apple, pear and mango tones, accented by toasted oak and vanilla."
