The Oak - 2019 Chardonnay - Napa Valley

What an enduring and lasting monument is the oak. Toward the end of his life, founder William Alexander likened the Fraternity to this same symbol. “The spreading oak upon which we look today with wonder and pride could never have grown from the seed of any weed. Its character proves that it was a genuine acorn that was planted at the University of Virginia more than a half a century ago.” Alexander drew the mighty oak depicted on this label, with roots grown from the acorn of 1868 and branches covering more than fifteen decades. We introduce you to The Oak. From the chalky soil of the Carneros region in southern Napa Valley, this gem exhibits lush green apple and bright grapefruit notes while dancing across your palate. This stunning wine is light and friendly with very subtle vanilla and pear blossom hints on the nose. Balanced fruit with tarte acidity make this wine a classic example of Premium Napa Chardonnay.
