Kelham Chardonnay St. Helena Napa California 2022

Since the late 1990s, Kelham Vineyards has embodied the power and elegance that made Napa an international benchmark. Drawing from Oakville's celebrated soils, every release continues the tradition of excellence that defines this renowned region. Silky yet bright: pear, golden apple and lemon curd glide over a creamy core, lifted by white-flower perfume and Chablis-style acidity. Partial malolactic and aging in seasoned French oak layer gentle vanilla and nutty finesse, finishing long and balanced. Talk about a classic Napa Chardonnay. This wine delivers the toasty richness and citrus-kissed fruit so characteristic of top producers like TOR or Rombauer’s single-vineyard expressions. Medium-bodied on the palate, it offers vibrant citrus fruit interwoven with heady orchard and stone fruit notes, all framed by saline-tinged acidity. It’s a Chardonnay full of tension and precision, marrying voluptuous texture with focused intent.” – 94 Points, Decanter Magazine Drink Now through 2030
