Hudson Vineyard Chardonnay 2018, from Napa Valley’s Carneros, is a 100% Chardonnay sourced from clay-rich soils. The nose offers a vibrant bouquet of green apple, lemon zest, and white peach, interwoven with flint, brioche, and subtle oak spice. The palate is full-bodied, with crisp acidity and a creamy texture, delivering flavors of citrus, stone fruit, and a hint of almond. Aged for 12 months in French oak (40% new), it provides a refined, lingering finish with excellent aging potential. Perfect for pairing with lobster, roasted poultry, or aged cheeses, this Chardonnay reflects Hudson’s artisanal precision and commitment to terroir. The 2018 vintage, known for its balance and depth, produced a wine of remarkable intensity, offering a sophisticated Carneros white for enthusiasts seeking richness and elegance. Its complex flavor profile and structured finesse make it a standout choice for collectors.
