Y3. Or as you may ask, why not? After all, the beauty of this wine runs far deeper than the label. Celebrating three generations of land-tilling, wine-loving Jacksons, siblings Kimberly and Trent are proud to present Y3, a wine as special as the memories of their grandparents at Yarrayne Ranch.
In our humble wine-obsessed opinion, many Napa Valley Chardonnays tend to be over-styled with excessive butter and oak. But as the Jackson siblings know (through lots of “testing“), an outstanding Chardonnay owes its success to outstanding fruit, not a heavy style. We think you’ll agree.
The 2015 Y3 Chardonnay is laced with tropical fruit, lemon, pastry and crushed rocks. Bright, articulated and chiseled througout, this wine is all about intense minerality. Layers of saline-infused bright fruit caress the palate on the beautifully articulated finish. This wine drinks beautifully now but will cellar nicely for several years to come.
