Ladybug Chardonnay

So impressed with this vintage. Deep and concentrated nose and palate. Displays quince and white fleshed fruits, coupled with a dense, oily mouthfeel. Superb length with very little acidity to talk about. Finishes sweet and voluptuous. Overall, the integration is textbook.

Ditto from my last tasting… hasn’t moved since last tasted 1 year ago.

Outrageously strong presentation. See my prior notes.

Stunning due to the aromatics, fruit profile and texture/density. Goes toe-to-toe with Aubert. Roasted pineapple and peach on the nose. Displays roasted almonds, nutmeg and stone fruits on the mid palate. Exceptional from Hudson.

See my prior notes for the 2020 vintage. These chards are our new find and we can’t get enough of them. It’s a beauty which is displaying a heady, oily viscosity. Let this congeal for a few more years and your patience will be rewarded.

Brioche, almonds, and subtle oak treatment combines with a perfectly weighted mid palate. Relaxed acidity and a somewhat lithe mouthfeel exemplifies the end of dry Jan. What a punishment that was…

Family loved the density, texture and opulence displayed with this example. Happy Christmas, peeps 🎅🏾

Great fruit profile and acidity considering 100% malo and 80% new oak!

Just had a 1-on-1 with Lee Hudson. What an amazing man and asset to the California wine industry..... a transcendent evening! @Antonio Galloni @Paul T- Huntington Beach @Shay A @Warren Sapp @Mike R

Rich, lemon and spice, some present Oak. Delicious, great acidity to balance the richness. Mouth watering, serious Chard.
