WINE DESCRIPTION
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars KARIA Chardonnay is named after the Greek word for "graceful," which is a fitting description for this elegant and well-balanced Chardonnay.
KARIA is made from grapes grown in the cooler southern part of Napa Valley, which allows for a longer growing season and produces grapes with bright acidity and intense flavors. The wine is aged for 8 months in French oak barrels, which gives it a subtle vanilla and toasty oak flavor.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Stag's Leap Wine Cellars KARIA Chardonnay is a delightful white wine with a beautiful golden hue and intense aromas of lemon custard, apricot, and honeysuckle.On the palate, it is creamy and full-bodied, with flavors of ripe yellow apples, honey, and a hint of oak. The creamy finish is long and captivating. An excellent choice for any occasion.
