The 2015 Alta Chardonnay was aged for 14 months in French barriques prior to bottling. Showing a rich golden color color this Chardonnay begins with aromatics reminiscent of butterscotch, roasted hazelnuts, Meyer lemon curd and brioche, which are enticing. The mid-palate weight and texture is lovely as rich flavors of butterscotch, Meyer lemon crème brûlée, vanilla and Marcona almond paste impress. This is another awesome Chardonnay from Catena in this vintage. (Best 2017-2023) - October, 2017 (OB)
