Staglin Family Vineyard Napa Valley Chardonnay 2010 (375 ml)

The pale gold color of the Staglin Chardonnay appears to almost sparkle and dance with dissolved jewels. The expressive nose of yellow peaches and lemon oil is lifted by floral notes of jasmine and honeysuckle with hints of mandarin orange marmalade, toffee and a sprinkle of gunpowder floating about. Balancing this is a creamy and finely textured palate that reverberates with a tight coil of liquid minerals and lively acidity that gives this wine gorgeous length and exciting complexity.
