Lewis Chardonnay Reserve 2016

96 Points

Classic

Somehow even more intense than the Barcaglia, the Napa Reserve seduces with aromas of tropical fruit, fresh peaches and Meyer lemon. The palate offers an almost unreal texture as the fruit gains depth and the ripe nectarine flavors are carried by its lovely texture and pronounced oak. Will provide pleasure over the next five years.

Launching forth with a striking bouquet of blood orange and spiced apple fruits, this tremendous new effort includes notes of honeysuckle and citrus oil with delightful accents of creamy oak on the finish that lasts a full 30 seconds.
