2019 | Stags' Leap Winery Chardonnay | Napa Valley Montepulciano This is an orange wine

This is an orange wine with red-wine character and fine tannins

with succulent contours wrapping it all together — a plush yet mid-weight expression that shows Dry Creek at its most finessed

Bright spice and bitter orange rind to the currants and raisins here

The palate is wrapped in creamy

this wine offers aromas of dried blossoms and herbs followed by flavors of mushroom reduction and a hint of meatiness
