Description
As one of the ten Chardonnays selected for the infamous 1976 "Judgment of Paris", Freemark Abbey was one of the elite trailblazers of Chardonnay in Napa Valley. Displaying this pedigree with vineyards located in some of the coolest areas of the valley, this white wine is rich and creamy with a ripe fruit profile of Fuji apple, Bosc pear and lemon curd balanced by subtle notes of butterscotch and vanilla bean.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
This is very steely and fresh with crushed-stone and lemon-rind undertones. Praline, too. Medium-bodied, linear and bright. About 40% malo. Mostly Carneros and Coombsville fruit. Excellent value for this quality. Drink or hold.
