2013 Darioush Napa Valley Chardonnay

You may expect a big Chardonnay from Darioush, but this release often retains a fine balance. According to the winery: "A gentle and idyllic growing season yielded a Chardonnay that eloquently expresses a beautiful balance of fruit, ripeness and refreshing acidity. Vivid and aromatic notes of nectarine, green apple and citrus blossom lead to sleek and refined flavors of stone fruit and guava with a mineral quality in the lingering finish."
