Bouchaine, Carneros – Napa Valley (California) Chardonnay 2021

Mar 26, 2024

By Roger Morris

 Chardonnay has since Prohibition found some of its best iterations in the foggy hillsides rising out of San Pablo Bay.  For several decades, Bouchaine has maintained that tradition with full-bodied, but not heavy, food-friendly Chardonnays.  This vintage is very juicy which balance off the moderate toastiness of the finish, with flavors ripe, juicy apples, a hint of ginger and a touch of citrus peel.
