Emblem Chardonnay Carneros 2016

This is a barrel-fermented white that fully embraces its richness in the form of a baked pear, caramel and crème brûlée. It’s full bodied and ample in fruit, with an underlying crispness that brightens the finish.

A full-bodied, fleshy expression of the variety, this wine opens in aromas of toasted marshmallow and caramel, the oak impressive and memorable. From there it offers a wealth of baked apple and pear, finding its footing along a lush, richly defined path.
