Plumpjack Chardonnay

The 2024 PlumpJack Reserve Chardonnay strikes a graceful balance between freshness and richness, combining the vibrant style of the cooler Carneros region with the more opulent style of the warmer St. Helena region. The nose opens with fresh aromas of lemon zest and Honeycrisp apple, followed by richer, sweeter notes of apricot, orange blossom, and honeycomb. A touch of oak spice and some minerality bring depth and complexity to the nose. The palate has a bright, lively, refreshing acidity, balanced by a creamy texture reminiscent of lemon custard. The wine is framed by a taut structure that creates tension and energy, leading into an enduring finish.
