Lot 489
2023 Los Carneros Chardonnay

$42/bottle under the original label

Lot 489 is a 100% estate-grown Chardonnay, sourced from a decorated Napa Valley producer. Crafted using grapes from their estate vineyards nestled on the Napa side of the appellation, this beauty is a shimmering, radiant Los Carneros Chardonnay imbued with soft oak character and plenty of varietal expression.

Pouring a beautiful light gold, this gleaming Chard opens with a nose defined by starfruit and golden apples, deftly interwoven with a strong minerality, lemon, white florals, and fresh-baked brioche. The palate entry is ethereal and refined, with uplifted citrus and floral notes elegantly supported by a creamy texture and perfectly integrated acidity – this is not an oak-bomb Chardonnay. The finish is delicate and enduring, with a touch of spice that gives way to subtle caramel undertones and elevated hints of lemon blossoms.
