Vinification: Gibbs Napa Valley Chardonnay dances a fine line between richness and restraint. Fermented in French oak and stirred on the lees for the first 16 weeks, the mouthfeel is round and lush up front with vibrant flavors showing on the mid palate and extending through the finish. A truly beautiful balance between classic Napa Valley opulence and modern winemaking clarity.
