2022 Watson Ranch Chardonnay, Napa Valley

12.7% Alc. - 29 year old vines planted above an old limestone quarry in the hills south of Napa. Watson Ranch is coastal and cool with a strong mineral component that makes it one of the most distinctive sites in California.

Pure and deep, the 2022 Watson has real wow factor as it balances trademark saline minerality with ripeness, richness and acidity. The fruit profile is lush citrus, the palate is rich and textured, the acidity is bracing, and the finish long and refined. It is perfectly balanced California.
