2022 Odette Reserve Chardonnay, Napa Valley

The 2022 Odette Reserve Chardonnay tantalizes with aromas of citrus, white peach, Bartlett pear, and honeysuckle. A bouquet of graham crackers, baking spice, and lemon curd hint at secondary malolactic fermentation and extended barrel aging in new French oak. Quartz-like acidity energizes the palate with layers of macadamia nut, nectarine, and pineapple enveloped in creamy custard. The lingering finish is evocative of fading sparklers after fireworks on the 4th of July.
