Duckhorn Chardonnay 2024 750ml

93 PTS: JAMES SUCKLING - “A well-balanced, generous chardonnay with aromas of lemon confit, salted nuts, wet stones and spices. The palate is mid-weighted with bright acidity and a textural, rounded mouthfeel. Drink now. Screw cap.”

Crafted in celebration of Duckhorn Vineyards' 50th anniversary, the 2024 Napa Valley Chardonnay was shaped by a strong growing season marked by abundant winter rainfall and dynamic summer weather patterns that fostered balanced sugars and vibrant acidity through harvest.

The wine opens with captivating aromas of caramelized pineapple, white stone fruit, ripe pear, and a whisper of mango crème brûlée. The palate is rich yet bright, with lifted acidity lending elegance alongside subtle hints of key lime pie. Nuanced fruit, delicate florals, and refined minerality add depth and grace, extending into a long, polished finish worthy of this milestone vintage.
