2014 Tamber Bey ‘Dijon’ Deux Cheveaux Vineyard Chardonnay

WSI 94! This wine delivers a very rich nose that mixes brioche, candied peach and white chocolate. The mouthfeel is full-bodied, with a creamy texture that is the result of the barrel fermentation and lees stirring. Flavors include salted caramel, white flowers and a little bit of nutmeg spice. The wine finishes with long notes of fresh pear, hazelnut and white peach. 590 cases produced.

Tamber Bey’s estate-grown Dijon Clone Chardonnay is a unique wine for Napa. This Chardonnay has a ‘Burgandian’ feel as the French Dijon clone brings a wonderful mid-pallet sense of fruit, but leaves out the oak and butter (characteristic of traditional Napa Chardonnays). This old block of Chardonnay just keeps giving us the amazing fruit.
