frogs leap napa chardonnay

750ML

2018

I thought of that wine and other early Napa Chards as I prepared to write this note for our Chardonnay—a spiritual kin to those early wines. Lean, crisp and minerally enough to easily fool one into thinking about Chablis but the wine’s beautiful aromas give it away. Delicate white peach, toasted hazelnuts and a delicate hint of something tropical. It could only be from here. Delightful to drink now, it needs nothing to complete its pleasure. However, I must say a nice, ripe Camembert wouldn’t be out of place.
