Hess Persson Estates Hess Collection Napa Valley Chardonnay 2023 750ml

A very sleek, balanced wine that's full-bodied, clean and fresh, emphasizing crisp apple and citrus flavors. It's partially fermented in neutral barrels and the rest in stainless steel tanks, without overdoing the butter and oak flavors. Full-bodied, smooth but bright, sourced mostly from south Napa Valley vineyards. Drink now.

Luscious creme brulee and crisp apple aromas lead to broad, rich golden apple, lemongrass and butterscotch flavors that give it richness with some vibrancy. All barrel-fermented and malolactic fermented, it’s elegant and not overly buttery. Drink now.

Baked apples and pears sprinkled with toasted almonds and a touch of butterscotch fill the mouth with flavor through a silky finish.
