Lot 503
2023 Napa Valley Chardonnay

750ml

$45/bottle under the original label

Lot 503 is an expertly crafted 100% Chardonnay composed of phenomenal fruit from Napa Carneros and Oak Knoll. The grapes from Carneros come from a famous single block used by blue-chip estates, while the grapes from Oak Knoll hail from one of the most acclaimed Chardonnay vineyards in the valley. Under its original label, this club exclusive is sold at $45/bottle, $540/case.

The wine opens with a bouquet of classic apple, Asian pear, and zesty lemon, elegant in its presentation with additional river stones and blossoms around the edges. On the palate, the wine unfolds with lemon oils, pears, and citrus rind, divinely resonant and elevated by integrated spice and lively acidity. The finish is clean and dry, highlighting a strong umami depth alongside uplifted spice, fresh butter, lemon peel, and wet stone minerality.

Just WOW

"Straight out of the bottle this wine is buttery & a delightful blend of fruits & spice. Drank it without food, but it will accompany salmon on the dinner table this evening! Since I only bought 2 I will try to purchase a few more cases of this chardonnay! It's a winner!"

#503 Chardonnay

"#503 Chardonnay is a fine, straight down the middle Napa Chardonnay that is great on it's own or with food. Very balanced, not too buttery, with a nice acid balance. A great value if you can get it around $15 or less!"

— Paul H. (4/5)

Quaffable AF

"The lady loved it and so did I. Quaffed while cooking and some even made it into the sauce. Nice!"

— Darryl R. (5/5)

Quite good. Balanced. The oak

"Quite good. Balanced. The oak is medium light on the palate. Didn’t enjoy as much on day 2."

— John K. (4/5)

Pleasant Surprise
