Smith-Madrone Vineyards Spring Mountain District Chardonnay 2019, Napa Valley, California

Light yellow in color with a golden hue.

Light nose of citrus, apples, apricots and light spices.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with apples, pears, ripe lemons, pineapples, spices, light oak, light vanilla and minerals.

Nice finish with limes and lemons.

This is a very tasty Chardonnay from Napa Valley. Elegant and fruit forward.

This 4 year old is neither bitter nor tart, just right. Nicely balanced and a great sipping wine.

I’ve had a few vintages of this Chardonnay, and it is very consistent, and much better with some age.

Tasty right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

14.6% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$45.
