Frank Family Vineyards
Reserve Lewis Vineyard Chardonnay
Carneros, North Coast, California, USA
2017 in 4/21. From our last trip up to Napa while lvg in Cali. Golden apple but not golden delicious....Seriously these apples are MADE OF GOLD!!! Something stunning about this for Crnrs chard. Theres richness and depth without being "oaky and buttery". At cellar temp it was stunning and singing and possibly at peak. Acidity very present but EXACTLY where it needs to be at the back end. Length like a champ! Perhaps complexity could dial up a notch but this is very impressive and enjoyable. Rdl burg stem. Acidity seems to come less from citrus fruit and more from a tart apple. Beauty!
