    2021 Chappellet Grower Collection "Calesa" Chardonnay (Petaluma Gap, CA) 8W

    Petaluma Gap, on the Sonoma Coast, is California's newest AVA (American Viticultural Area) and features a near-ideal cold-climate location for fine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The 2021 Calesa delivers a complex array of California Chardonnay flavors, from orchard fruits to citrus and spice, and moves on to a rich, nutty, smoky, saline finish, all with an impressive creamy texture. Excellent now, but will improve for up to five years.

    About The Varietal

    Chardonnay

    Chardonnay, possibly the most famous among white grape varieties, is frequently regarded as reaching its peak expression in its Burgundian birthplace. However, this grape has journeyed across the globe, and Chardonnay wines, ranging from outstanding to less inspiring, can now be discovered in various wine-producing regions worldwide.
