Freemark Abbey Napa Valley Chardonnay 2024 -750ml

94pts Jeb Dunnuck

Coming mostly from Coombsville and Carneros and aged eight months in 43% new French oak, the 2024 Chardonnay Napa Valley is a beautiful, classy, rich, yet fresh and vibrant expression of Chardonnay. Stone and orchard fruits, honeyed white flowers, spice, and a kiss of classy wood all shine on the nose, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a pure, focused, vibrant mouthfeel, integrated acidity, and a great finish.

Winemaker Notes

Sourced from Carneros, Coombsville, and eastern Napa Valley, the 2024 Chardonnay offers a vibrant interplay of fruit and spice. Aromas of fresh pear, baked apple, and pineapple are lifted by notes of citrus zest and a hint of warm baking spice. The palate is layered and expressive, balancing richness with bright acidity. A creamy texture carries through a long, graceful finish, capturing both freshness and depth in classic Napa Valley style.
