We did a virtual wine tasting on May 12, 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic and various state shelter in place orders. I really liked this wine. I would say it’s one of my favorite Chardonnays. We tried the 2013 Chardonnay at the same time. We prefer the 2017 by far. 2017 had a very nice butter note, but it was not overwhelming. While it has hint of butter, it is not a butter bomb. There’s not too much oak, just right. The wine is a mouthful. A wonderful pale yellow color. Apparently, the wine is aged in controlled French oak barrels. 2017 was a year of a lot of rain and very warm temperatures. This winery is very very high tech. This property traces its lineage back to probably the oldest vineyard in Napa.

Very nice. Good acid, not overly rich or oaky.
