Hagafen Chardonnay Napa Valley

Developing a new appreciation for Chardonnay great balance soft yet bold just enough oak but not overpowering the butteriness of thevwine

Stray yellow with a green hue and medium viscosity in the glass. Pear, fuzzy fruit, guava, citrus and petrol on the nose. Grapefruit and pineapple on the palate. Sturdy acidity and clean minerality. Sweet and sour finish. Simple, but drinkable.

A bit metallic aftertaste follows a very fruity taste. Luckily, this is not a buttery chard but rather a more fruit forward, crisp wine. The aftertaste lessens the overall enjoyment of the wine.
