Chateau Montelena, Chardonnay, Napa Valley, California 2022 metallica Hayden was born and raisedBright gold in color and incredibly aromatic, the ripeness of the vintage is most pronounced initially; melon, perfume, and orange blossom slowly give way to fresh peach, honeysuckle and apricot. Theres very little overt oak influence on the nose, although it comes across subtly in the background as pie crust and toast. Its the suppleness and silky mouthfeel that strike first, although theres abundant mango and citrus with Meyer lemon here as well.
