This terroir creates a wine with aromas of Honeycrisp apple, brioche, white flowers, and Meyer lemon zest. The palate is a playful balance of rich and creamy textures with vibrant acidity. Flavors of Anjou pear, tropical fruits, hazelnut, vanilla, and oak spices round out its appeal; making it suited to enjoy on its own or pair well with a wide range of dishes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeautifully layered and slightly rich yet well balanced. A luxurious but fresh-tasting wine that leads with toasted almonds and brown butter, then crisp apples and Bosc pears. Winemaker Kristy Melton goes for a middle ground between ripeness and nervy austerity, so this wine reaches a deft balance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRated 94\/100 James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA fine value for Napa Cahrdonnay, Freemark Abbey's 2023 Chardonnay was barrel fermented in 44% new French oak. Lovely cinnamon and nutmeg notes join a hint of pineapple custard, lime and just a bit of peach on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is rather broad and expansive but not over the top, with a bright, zesty lime-like finish. Around half the blend comes from an old-vine site in eastern Napa (planted 1978), with the balance from Coombsville and Carneros.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRated 93\/100 Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breakthru","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":42356246511734,"sku":"015917029105","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/9717\/7206\/files\/freemark-abbey-napa-valley-chadronnay_0.png?v=1753127036","url":"https:\/\/www.wineandcheeseplace.com\/products\/freemark-abbey-chardonnay","provider":"The Wine \u0026 Cheese Place","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
