Tasting Notes:
Sourced from historic Jameson Canyon Vineyard, acquired by John in 2021—this estate in the cool-climate region of southeastern Napa Valley has produced iconic wines for decades. Medium-gold hues in the glass, notes of candied apple, and juicy, stone fruits are lifted with apple blossom aromas. Flavors deepen with hints of pear crisp, toffee, and toasted hazelnut, edged with a light minerality. A layered and complex wine with rich cream, zingy fruit, and subtle spice. This small-batch, hand-crafted wine underwent barrel fermentation for 11 months, aged in 60% American oak barrels with 30% new and 40% French oak barrels with 20% new. Only 200 cases produced.

Vintage Notes:
The 2022 Napa Valley growing season will be remembered for late spring frosts that led to decreased yields and for a sustained heat wave that landed in early September. The expertise of the John Anthony Vineyard Management team transcended these events, creating a Jameson Canyon Vineyard Chardonnay that is notable for its freshness and flavor maturation.
