2022 Antinori Napa Valley 'A26' Chardonnay, Napa Valley Cult Wine Tannins: Powerful yet roundBold and confident, with plenty of aromatics up front, including honeysuckle, cardamom, toasted brioche and marzipan. However, what makes this wine memorable is the wonderful tension between these rich aromatics, plus its sleek, juicy thread of fresh Fuji apple, lemon curd and caramelized pineapple. Offers a long, expressive and highly detailed finish. Drink now through 2031. 95 POINTS JAMES SUCKLING
