2022 Staglin Chardonnay Estate Napa

This wine is also all estate fruit and is a selection of their best grapes and spends a bit more time in oak, no malo here in this wine or the Salus. This wine has a good amount of rich tropical fruit on the nose, that lemon drop candy and a nice hand of vanilla bean spice, cinnamon, crème brulee, nice concentration and richness. This wine is quite a bit richer than the Salus with a nice hand of toasty oak spice but also has good richness and also has a firm hand of acidity holding everything in place.
