Always surprising freshness and weight, like slightly unripe Bosc pears commingling with dandelion greens.

Has a bit of DMS, without it it would be killer.

Could be the perfect Thanksgiving wine. Spicy, juicy, fresh, vibrant, verve, oxidation notes, lees lushness, lemon curd and dried tropical trail mix. Let this get to room temperature and watch it fly. The new way to make chardonnay. #southoldfarm+cellar

As far as the wine goes- it drinks like coriander infused tropical fruit. A unique expression of Chardonnay from terroir that I know very little about. I don't know all the details, but I do know that this winery is going through a very difficult time right now. Here's hoping all works out for them as in my limited experience, they make great wine & should be able to continue doing so.

Very cool Chardonnay- drank over two days. First day it was very smokey, also kind of oxidative. Second day some smokiness left to leave a more salty and briney thing with some olives and herbal grassiness. Love it!
