Sourced from the cool-climate gem Jameson Canyon Vineyard in southeastern Napa Valley, the 2024 Jameson Canyon Chardonnay gleams a bright straw-gold with a luminous core. The aromas are vibrant—pear blossom, cantaloupe, and lemon curd—which unfold into a touch of brioche, toasted hazelnut, a light barrel spice, and subtle salinity. On the palate, juicy pear and crisp apple lead, followed by stone fruit flavors and an echo of toffee and ginger. Silky and layered, bright natural acidity rides through the mid-palate and resolves in a slightly creamy, sur-lie polished finish. Barrel-fermented and aged nine months sur lie in 100% French Oak (20% new, 80% once-used), with 65% malolactic fermentation, this wine strikes a compelling balance of energy and texture—immediately enticing yet built to age with grace.

Vintage Notes:
The 2024 growing season was defined by heavy winter rains that laid the foundation for another exceptional vintage in Napa Valley. These rains provided healthy soil moisture and canopy growth, supporting balanced vine development throughout the season. Optimal summer conditions combined with meticulous vineyard management lead to white wines with vibrant acidity, layered aromatics, and a refined sense of texture and precision.
