Thursday, July 6, 2023 - Sampled from a pristinely cellared bottle that was popped and poured, this medium golden Chardonnay is immediately aromatically expressive of clementines, pit fruits, wet stones, jasmine, honey and chervil. Medium-bodied, crisply acidic, judiciously oaked and without noticeable alcohol (13.3%), it delivers flavors in line with the aromas and stays solid on the mid-palate. Long and energetic on the back end, this is an impressive New World Chardonnay that could easily be confused with something from Puligny-Montrachet. Comparably cellared bottles should show well throughout the remainder of this decade. Drink now-2030.
