“The 2021 Chardonnay Estate is a bright straw yellow hue and was aged for 10 months in 30% new French oak. It’s expressive on opening, with notes of honeysuckle, melon, fresh pear, and candied citrus. Medium to full-bodied, it’s juicy on the palate, with a lovely, elegant feel and a kiss of sweet fruit through the finish. It’s going to show its best over the next 5-6 years.:"

This Chardonnay exhibits buoyant fruit - Bartlett pear, peach, and golden delicious apple - with honeysuckle, sweet baking spices, and an oceanic note shading the background. The palate mirrors that exuberant tree fruit with a rich, generous texture and walks a tightrope into balancing citrus pith, and a thrilling stony note; a sly wink to the volcanic activity from 35 million years before.

"From grapes grown between 400 and 1,800 feet elevation, this impressive white over-delivers on its price point, showcasing the beauty of the site. Graham cracker, honeycomb, and stone fruit contribute to a rich midpalate of complex concentration and length, finishing balanced and bright in underlying acidity."
