The Los Carneros Chardonnay by Cuvaison rests 11 months in 25% new French oak barrels and checks in at a 15% alcohol level, but the wine doesn’t show it. Aromas and flavors of yellow peach, jasmine flower, roasted hazelnuts, and burnt orange marmalade pop from the glass. Elevated levels of acidity help balance the length and floral-scented finish.
