Trout Gulch Vineyard Chardonnay

Drinking exceptionally well right now -

Much too young, but will be great in 5-10 years

High acidity, lemon peel, tart. Not much on the nose. Very bright, light body, and refreshing. No observable oakiness. Young but still nice to drink now.

Consistently a winner

Beautiful! Delicate the multidimensional.

Incredible acid and texture. Apricot, tangerine, oyster shell and lemon.

Tightly wound with tart acidity and good minerality the first day. A couple days later, the acidic backbone held up, but the lemon backed off and gave way to marmalade and a touch of honey. Striking. Great future potential.

All kinds of lemon ping ponging around the palate, some green and white floral meadow notes, dissolved minerals and smoke, kiss of sea salt. Unreal focus and energy. Would love to try (a) with some age and (b) next to others' bottlings from this vineyard e.g. Arnot Roberts

Bright citrus and leather notes on the nose. Ethereal weightlessness leads to a thirty second finish of lemon curd and meringue. This is some life-altering shit... think Alaskan king crab and vinous perfection.

Lemon curd. Slight marine element to the nose- oyster shells, salt. Slightly smokey. Pear and stone fruit as it comes to room temp. Palate is tart and tight. Bright entry, long finish. This wine will live for a while.
