Very nice. I find myself gravitating more and more towards Ladd’s offerings, as the winemaker expands his portfolio with great results. As an example, this is only Ladd’s second Chardonnay, and it’s hitting all the notes with clarity and balance. Bright, clean and refreshing, it carries nice acidity, pleasing mid-palate ripeness, and lasting finish, beyond other chards I’ve had recently. I had forgotten I had this—stumbling across it in a search for a white to go with a poultry meal. I’m very happy I did, and I only hope there is still some available so I can put some away—it’s a keeper.
