Robert Mondavi Winery 'The Estates' Chardonnay 2020, Carneros, Napa Valley

Bold and expressive bouquet with a rich nutty, creamy and peachy quality. Scents of fresh peach and ripe apple, cashew and vanilla-laced toasty wood, there’s a burnt butter quality and as the wine opens out in glass a clay earth quality begins to emerge. Dry, plenty of weight and power from fruit and oak as the wine touches the palate. Flavours mirror the bouquet along with grapefruit flavours on the finish, tannins and acidity adding texture, power and length. Well made, bold and expressive with plenty of mouthfeel and finish. Best drinking from 2023 through 2029.
