About the wine
Vibrant notes of fresh grapefruit, mango, and lemon tart eervescently arise from the glass, complemented by subtle hints of lingering freshness and almonds. Luxurious flavors of fig, apricot, and tropical fruits generously unfold across the creamy palate, graced by a delicate touch of nutmeg. The finale imparts a delightful freshness, elevating the concentrated and decadent flavors to a harmonious conclusion.
Generations is a tribute to the Raymond family’s five generations of winemaking in the Napa Valley. This limited-production wine is 100% Chardonnay, the winery’s ultimate expression of this varietal. A mix of specialized Dijon clones, the 2021 Generations Napa Valley Chardonnay was harvested between September 10th and October 1st. The grapes were whole cluster pressed and 100% barrel fermented in 49% new French oak barrels.

About
As VOLUPTUOUS as the iconic Marilyn Monroe, these heavier whites are richer in texture, thanks to riper fruit and most also feature the added flavor complexity of new oak. Almost all of these opulent wines are quite dry and fermented in oak barrels, but a handful are lusciously sweet late-harvested dessert wines.
