2021 Jeremy Nickel Cellars Chardonnay, Oakville, Napa Valley alsace dark cocoa and black pepper

dark cocoa and black pepper lead into a palate that’s concentrated but perfectly ripe

tremendous freshness

inviting interest to a mid-palate resonating with notes of mandarin

but in more of a medium-bodied style that is quite a bit more approachable than is the norm here
