The 2023 Odette Chardonnay shows Napa Valley Chardonnay at its most precise and balanced. Odette approaches Chardonnay with the same discipline and restraint that defines its Cabernet Sauvignon. The goal is clarity, freshness, and texture rather than richness or excess.
The grapes come from carefully selected Napa Valley vineyard sites. Cool mornings and strong day-night temperature shifts preserve acidity and aromatic purity. As a result, the wine ripens fully while keeping tension and freshness. The 2023 vintage highlights this balance especially well.
Aromas open with citrus zest, pear, and white peach, followed by subtle floral notes. On the palate, the wine feels focused and composed. Ripe orchard fruit meets bright acidity and a fine, creamy texture. Oak plays a supporting role. It adds structure and depth without covering the fruit. The finish stays clean, mineral, and persistent.
This Chardonnay works naturally at the table. Its freshness pairs well with seafood, poultry, and vegetable driven dishes. At the same time, the wine has enough structure to age gracefully over several years. It reflects the Odette philosophy clearly. Precision comes first. Balance guides every decision.
The 2023 Odette Chardonnay stands as a confident Napa Valley white and a natural counterpart to the estate’s Stag’s Leap AVA Cabernet Sauvignon.
