At 8 years of age this “basic” Chardonnay from Arterberry is shining. I would liken the style and quality to a very good grower in the Cote de Beaune Village level.

Yes. Tasty good. As others have noted. Not the big full oaky thing but focused crisp and fruit driven.

Second time around. Bright acidity, noticeably unfined/unfiltered, crisp citrus, a lovely 13.4% alc.

Bright acidity, mineral citrus, will be better in 5 years.

Great texture and sincere intensity, there's an appealing addition of lemon oil which lingers on the complex and gently vanilla-infused finish.

When OR chard is on, it's on. Acid, fruit, whisper of oak all in balance.
