Trefethen Family Vineyards 2018 Chardonnay Oak Knoll District, California

Description

Coming from a family with deep roots in Napa Valley winemaking and a commitment to seeing it thrive, this 2018 Trefethen Oak Knoll Chardonnay could be called a love letter to the region. The grapes were sourced entirely from the Main Trefethen Ranch and are fermented in barrels, spending 9 months in oak. It’s less “California Chard” than you might think, and the lively acidity makes a perfect match for food and extended cellaring. Trefethen Chardonnays are famous for aging beautifully over many years. Wine Enthusiast Magazine even gave this wine 93 points saying, “This is an elegant, classically styled Chardonnay, brimming in structure.” A worthy cellar addition!
