Sigrid Chardonnay
Opened a few fun bottles to celebrate my birthday this past weekend. Cheers to 31!
Pale yellow in the glass. Fruit is very bright...lemon, underripe peach, and limestone aromatics. Quite strong acidity upfront...reminiscent of a nice Chablis. Because of the structure and acidity, I think this is best enjoyed slightly warmer than cellar temp. It rounds things out. Definitely not an overoaked Chardonnay, but just a kiss of it to keep it from being racy. Lemon zest and caramelized green apple highlight the finish. I’d have no problem holding these another year or two, but great now if warmed up slightly.

Magnificent. 2014 has a warm creamy undertone on top of perfect balance of acidity and fruit. Very Burgundian! Just outstanding.

Jul 21st, 2017Bright Meyer lemon, citrus blossoms, ripe pineapples on the nose. Lemon zest w/rhine, lime juice, pineapple juice, squeezed lime, green apple, citrus blossoms, some honeysuckle, fairly chalky, beautiful soft minerals, high acid-maybe a bit too much, a little waxy with a good crisp finish.
