The 2021 Chardonnay Mt. Carmel Vineyard is fabulous. All of the pedigree of this south-facing site comes through in a rich, layered, beautifully resonant Chardonnay endowed with tremendous distinction. Lemon confit, orchard fruit, mint, spice, graphite and hazelnut all grace this dramatic Chardonnay. Readers will find a Chardonnay of undeniable class, elegance and personality. Stunning.

2021 vintage. Extended, tropical endowments with reduced weight/body = concentration. Light/medium body. Extremely well-made and gorgeous with a zesty, deliciously lean, finish. Resto cost less than $90 but more than $80 a bottle. California Chard not moving the needle currently but this example proves it should. 01.15.25.
