The grapes for Ferrari-Carano's Reserve Chardonnay come primarily from a single vineyard in Napa Valley's Carneros region. Comprised of four Chardonnay clones, this wine displays aromas of hazelnut, spice, ripe apple, orange blossom, fig and butter with elegant, upfront flavors of sweet pear, lemon and a lingering, toasted oak finish. The cooler climate of Carneros imparts delicacy and finesse to the wine, while the Alexander Valley component adds an intensely rich mouth-filling character. Aged in 44% new French oak and 56% older French oak, this has a lovely balance of oak, fruit and acidity.

Aromas of flint, sliced apple, hazelnut and toffee follow through to a full body. Tight and focused with a reserved and thoughtful finish. Spicy on the finish. Lots of energy here. Will age nicely. Drink or hold.

Toasted lemon and cream mix with layers of oak spice, crushed and toasted almonds and a sweet pear finish. Lengthy with a textural palate and fully framed flavor.

A youthful yellow color, the 2022 Chardonnay Reserve is generous and sunny on the nose, with notes of pithy citrus, almond, yellow flowers, and golden apple. Full-bodied, it’s ripe and rounded, with a pithy texture and a warming feel. Sunny and ripe, it offers notes of honeyed citrus and vanilla on the palate and has a rather long finish. It’s a decadent wine, but it has balance. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.

A toasty version, offering spice and butter notes, with a whiff of smoke, plus honeysuckle and grilled citrus flavors. This is full-bodied, with crisp acidity on the finish. Drink now. 3,980 cases made.
