Duckhorn Chardonnay 2023

Napa Valley Chardonnay from one of California's most trusted names — a tribute to tradition and the vintage.

Duckhorn's Napa Valley Chardonnay is crafted with the same precision and restraint that defines everything the winery produces. The 2023 vintage benefited from an advantageous growing season — long, even ripening that preserved natural acidity while developing exceptional aromatic complexity. Winemaker Dana Epperson's touch is evident throughout: nothing forced, nothing excessive, just beautifully balanced Chardonnay.

Tasting Notes
Inviting aromas of ripe pear, fresh lemongrass, and a delicate touch of ginger open the nose with elegance and precision. As the wine opens, vibrant layers of citrus and creamy crème brülée emerge, accompanied by a subtle hint of salinity that adds depth and intrigue. The entry is silky, building slowly to a long, juicy finish where balanced complexity shines through.

The Finish
Long and expressive, with citrus and a whisper of toasted oak carrying through to a clean, satisfying close.
