Signorello – Hope’s Cuvée 2015, Chardonnay – Napa Valley

The nose is fresh, fruity and offers a slight minerality. It reveals notes of fresh citrus (lemon, mandarin), quince and small touches of lemon flowers, kumquat associated with slight hints of fresh / crunchy brugnon. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, beautifully built and offers a good definition, a beautiful finesse, fat, a beautiful freshness, a very slight unctuosity as well as tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy / fresh quince, juicy kumquat and small notes of tangerine associated with small hints of fresh / juicy lemon, butter as well as discreet hints of crunchy brugnon and vanilla. Good length. Small unctuosity on the finish. A beautiful wine!
