March 7, 2021 - This generous and layered Chardonnay is drinking well right now, delivering a laid back and tasty profile that's hard to resist. Light yellow in color; medium in body; aromas of grapefruit, peach, and quince. Flavors of green apple, almond skin, and orange peel, with a layered and round finish. 13.2% alcohol. This doesn't have the depth of the 2015 or 2017 (probably my favorites), but it's a solid wine that's worth opening (as in, soon).
