6 Bottle Case Frog's Leap Shale and Stone Napa Chardonnay 2023 Rated 96VM w/ Shipping Included

VinoUS Media Review
Rated 96
The 2023 Chardonnay Shale and Stone, from Truchard in Carneros, is all class. Apricot, lemon confit, marzipan, tangerine peel, tropical fruit and a kiss of French oak grace this exotic, dynamic Chardonnay from Frog's Leap. Airy and gracious, with stunning balance, the 2023 is fabulous in every way. Drinking Window 2026-2035.

Wine Tasting Notes
The description "Shale and Stone" on the label is reflective of nearly a decade of experimentation (mostly unlearning what I knew about Burgundian winemaking technique) to arrive at a style that celebrates the deep minerality of its ancient fractured shale soils and preserves the freshness of the varietal with long sur lie aging in concrete. The result is this stunning Frog's Leap Shale and Stone Napa Chardonnay: taut but generous, full yet bright on the palate. Flavorful but not obvious.
