Wine is showing extremely well but could still use sometime to age. Lemon, lime, orange marmalade, green apple, pear, some confection, medium acidity, what I would describe as a beautiful acidic, citrusy with touches of dairy key/lemon meringue pie.

The 2019 Chardonnay Estate is a gorgeous appellation-level wine. Bright, floral and finely cut, the 2019 possesses terrific energy and cut, all in a gracious, airy style that is hugely appealing. Lemon confit, melon, dried flowers and a touch of spice linger. The Estate is a blend taken from across the property, and that complexity makes for a highly intriguing wine.

July 4th Friday was a total blowout! Killer bottles one after another. Here are just a few of the bottles we all enjoyed!
Drinking at its peak. Soft butterscotch notes but not very candied/sweet. Lemon oil, honeysuckle, and honey roasted cashews. Very rich and textured on the palate. Really nice.
