“The 2023 Chardonnay was matured for 16 months in 12% new oak. It has open-knit aromas of peach, apricot, tangerine and green herbs. The palate is light-bodied with a silky texture and concentrated stone fruit flavors. It’s balanced by vibrant acidity and has a long, dynamic finish. 750 cases were made.”
“A light-bodied wine that's very distinctive, well balanced and generous, with green apple and Bosc pear flavors. Accents of minerals and salt benefit from great acidity and a fresh texture. Drink now or hold.”
