Hess Collection The Lioness Estate Chardonnay 2022

With this wine, Hess Collection aims to craft a big, beautiful Napa Valley Chardonnay that showcases what the valley is capable of producing. They are striving for texture and full flavors when they make the barrel selection, and are attracted to clones that produce fruit of low yields but tremendous quality. The Lioness is beautifully balanced and dynamic with a lush texture and layered flavors. Aromas of crème brûlée, lemongrass and honeysuckle are lifted by a core of bright acidity running throughout. Hints of white peaches are complemented by undertones of vanilla bean that persist throughout a fresh and exciting finish.
