Duckhorn Chardonnay Napa Valley 2013

The second vintage of Duckhorn’s Napa Valley Chardonnay is classically styled, featuring elegant aromas of white flowers, Meyer lemon, and spice notes. On the palate, poached pear, ripe citrus, and a complimentary oak spice are predominant. The texture is simply gorgeous and the finish, clean and precise. This wine will continue to drink well for at least another 3-4 years.
