Blended from exemplary lots by Winemaker Daniel Daou, the 2022 DAOU Reserve Chardonnay displays a light golden-straw color in the glass. Aromas of jasmine, honeysuckle, pineapple and melon are deepened by notes of caramel and honey. Smooth textures flood the palate with flavors of tropical fruit, hazelnut, almond and vanilla. A beautifully rounded finish is lengthened by luscious, lingering acidity.
