2017 Jason by Pahlmeyer Chardonnay Napa Valley

WE94 A thick oak-influenced white wine with weight and breadth across the palate. This is undeniably delicious and in full possession of its richness and concentration. The layered flavors of stone fruit, pear and nutmeg are lifted by focused acidity that cannot be denied.
Estate Notes: This wine has brilliant golden straw color and aromas of warm spice, tangerine, and sweet orange; intriguing tropical floral notes carry over onto the palate. Flavors of ripe pear, apricot, and mango peel are accented by warm spice and rich caramel, for a wine that is both weighty and fresh. The grapes were hand-sorted and gently whole-cluster pressed. After settling overnight, the juice was fermented in barrel, including 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged in 35% new French oak barrels for eleven months.
