Sphaerics 2024 Chardonnay "overline", Carneros, Napa Valley

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 97+ Points

Ultra elegant yet generous, the aromas of this immediately appealing wine are an expressive medley of fresh apple, baked apple, white peach, honey, white rose, honeysuckle, toasted pastry and coconut, all poised above slate-like minerality. It is palate-coating yet streamlined in the mouth, where a beautifully genteel texture freshened by brisk fruit acidity carries flavors, which are a mirror of the classy aromatic profile, through a long-lingering, food-worthy finish. Delicious as it is now, it should be even more exciting after another year or so of cellaring. 500 cases made.
