Stags' Leap Napa Valley 2013 Chardonnay






Stags' Leap Napa Valley 2013 Chardonnay, $25.49-$34.99, 92 points, poured a deep glossy gold color.
Aromatic orchard blossoms and tropical fruit were very good.
The medium-plus body perfectly managed good acidity and flavors of vanilla, pome, and tropical fruits which were rich and unctuous.
Finished long on black pepper, a trailing palate, and a well integrated 14.1% alcohol.

  1. I tried this recently at a tasting of 2013 Chardonnays and found it surprisingly pleasant...for a Chardonnay!

    1. VG: As you know I haven't always been a big Chardonnay fan, but with Chardonnays like this I've been converted!

  2. I wouldn't go that far, but it was drinkable :)
