2024 was an incredible follow-up to the long, slow 2023 vintage. Balance, precision and length are signatures of the 2024 wines, and this Chardonnay is no exception. The hue is a clear, bright light yellow with green flashes. Aromatics of bright lemon, white flowers, fennel frond and a hint of baking spice jump out of the glass. The palate is full of finesse with a sultry luxuriance carrying the energetic flavors of white stone fruits, orange zest, lemon curd and pastry cream through to a long, soft finish.
Offers flavors of roasted, salted hazelnut alongside notes of cardamom and nutmeg, all aromatic and distinctive, before giving way to plump and fleshy apricot, white peach, and mango. Details of vanilla paste, graham cracker and lemon curd are appealing, with plenty of verve and harmony on the finish. Drink now through 2038. 119 cases made.
