The 2016 Cakebread Napa Valley Chardonnay is an showing in from this warm vintage. It immediately begins to impress as it releases inviting aromatics of toasty oak alongside orchard and citrus fruit that build in the glass. The palate shows a notable degree of minerality which underline flavors of baked apple, crème brûlée and lemon zest. Overall, this is a delicious effort which is drinking beautifully now, but should also offer a nice drinking window over the next few years.
