The 2024 Chardonnay Waters Ranch is another fabulous wine in this range.  Apricot, lemon confit, tangerine oil, mint and white pepper are some of the notes that grace this exquisite, nuanced Chardonnay.  All of this fruit is from core parcels that once informed the Pahlmeyer Chardonnay, done in a more contemporary style that is hugely appealing.

Coming from Atlas Peak from their family estate in Napa, the nose of the 2023 Chardonnay Ways Of Wayfarer is lifted and bright with zesty lime citrus, white pepper, flint, bright green apples, and fresh flowers. Full-bodied, it remains pure and ripe but has lovely purity, with a note of bright candied green apple fruit. It’s a lovely new addition to the range. Drink now or over the coming 6-8 years.
