Alma Rosa El Jabali Vineyard Chardonnay 2021 Review
Samra Morris came to Napa Valley, California with a bachelors and masters degrees in Food Sciences from The University of Sarajevo, College of Agricultural and Food Sciences. She fell in love with making Cabernet Sauvignon until she saw the challenge of making Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the Sta. Rita Hills of Santa Barbara County. Challenge accepted. This Chardonnay is delicious. The nose shows very even toasted oak with some baking spice notes. There's great balance on the palate between fruit and acid with an oaked finish that's controlled and sound.
