Stag’s Leap Chardonnay 2020

Stag’s Leap has long been a pillar of excellence in Napa Valley. This chardonnay is at their lower price point. The color is very light yellow with a slight green tinge to it. The nose shows green apple and slate. The flavors are juicy, slightly tart apple with a hint of butter and vanilla. I always love reading what the winery website says about its wine and compare it to my own experience. I can say that I definitely do not agree with the abundant profile that their website portrays for this wine. Although it is not a bad wine, I certainly expected more from this winery and from this price point. I have had far better chardonnays for ten dollars less. Stag’s Leap needs to put as much effort into their lower price point as they do in their stellar higher price points. Like I said, it is not a bad wine, however, I would not buy this again for this price.
