Alpha Omega, Napa Valley (California) Chardonnay 2020

Nov 7, 2023

By John McDermott

 Alpha Omega’s 2020 Napa Chardonnay is fantastically well balanced.  It delves into the richness of Napa without over doing it.  Thirty percent new French Oak and lees aging bring a combination of creme brûlée and buttery viscosity, complimented by flavors of crisp yellow apple and green pear.  High acidity keeps the wine from feeling flabby, while a creamy, medium bodied mouthfeel brings about an undeniable lushness.  The combination of richness and bright acidity make this another fantastic option for Thanksgiving dinner.
