Robert Mondavi The Estates Carneros Chardonnay 2021

Aromas of pear, peach, green apple, jasmine, a hint of maple candy, and floral. Mouthcoating layers of green apple, citrus blossom, and toast. Lush and opulent with a lively acidity, oak, and a long finish.

The Carneros Chardonnay comes from two spectacular Chardonnay sites on the Napa side of Carneros. The cool climate of this region, along with these sites’ clay loam soils, create the ideal growing conditions for fruit that results in an elegant and expressive wine.

A true reflection of place, the grapes for Carneros Chardonnay were grown on the foggy, windswept slopes of the region. The cool nights, foggy mornings, and afternoon breezes that blow in from San Pablo Bay allow for the slow, even ripening needed for the development of key flavors and aromas.
