BARNETT VINEYARDS
CHARDONNAY 2021
SANGIACOMO VINEYARD
CARNEROS, NAPA VALLEY
Hal and Fiona Barnett founded Barnett Vineyards in 1983, producing varietally pure, polished, and powerful wines stemming from their commitment to sustainable practices with minimal intervention in the winemaking process. For over three decades, they’ve sourced their Chardonnay from the legendary Sangiacomo Vineyard in Carneros, earning access to some of the vineyards’ best blocks, including El Novillero, Vella, and Catarina.
The progress of barrel fermentation and later malolactic fermentation are routinely monitored by the winemaking team, sampling wine from each barrel to maintain the desired balance in the wine, resulting in a beautifully polished Chardonnay.
The 2021 release is a testament to the team’s deep understanding of Sangiacomo terroir and the fruit, revealing a remarkable equilibrium of flavors. All this set against the backdrop of an exceptional vintage, this Chardonnay is a joy to behold.

“Barnett Vineyards 2021 Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay opens with notes of honeysuckle and peach blossoms, melted caramel, pear, pineapple, apple strudle, and a wet stone minerality. On the palate, the wine has flavors of sweet spices, waffle cone, pear, golden apple, and fresh bread dough. The wine has a delicate balance of flavor intensity and acidity that creates a long, elegant finish.”
