Chappellet, Carneros (California) Chardonnay 2020

 I find the Robert Young clone is often present in Chardonnays that I like, and this single block offering from Chappellet’s Grower Collection features just the clone as a soloist to great effect.  It captures the apple and passion fruit aspects of the clone aromatically and delivers the promise on the palate, with sweet fruit tempered by racy acidity that keeps the wine from flying apart.  For those who like to go bold with style!
