I think this is the estate Chardonnay vs. the st. Rita hills. Somewhat confusing. Anyway this is amazing right now. Nose of cream, lemon, peach. Palate is coated by creaminess, lemon and orange galore, stone fruit, nectarine mostly, there’s a salinity that’s so nice. It definitely gets into sea water and lemongrass at the end, but this is overall a more creamy and brioche wine. So complex. One of my favorite chards in recent memory.

Would have never pegged this for a chard if tasted blind. More French but not with the acidity, I would have guessed a Rhone white blend. Honeysuckle on the nose and tart apple in the mouth.

Mar 30th, 2023Definitely on the Chablis and champagne side of Chardonnay. Nose has hay, lemon, sour grass, peach, pear, passion fruit. Palate is more typical of chard with lemon, cream, grass, stone fruit. A hint of tropical fruit. Pretty long finish. I like this better than the estate.
