2019 Williams Selyem Chardonnay Allen Vineyard

Drinking very well, but much better after bottle warmed a bit from refrigerator temp and also better after about 45 minutes of air. Seems to be in a great drinking window. Impeccably balanced, terrific juicy finish.

2019 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Ferrington Vineyard

PnP. Medium translucent ruby, no sign of age. Effusive nose, white flowers, hint of creamsicle that got bigger the longer it was in the glass. Palate medium-minus bodied, lush across the middle of the palate, nice fruit, balanced but still could use a bit more time to come together. Hint of bitterness on tip of tongue on the finish, in a nice way. Juiciness, bit of acidity on the finish. Lingering, medium-plus finish. After an hour, still big creamsicle on the nose. Still long finish, shortened a bit on the palate, fruit receded a bit after an hour. Long drinking window ahead!

2019 Handley Chardonnay Estate Vineyard Anderson Valley

Wow, this is drinking very nicely, and even better at $15.99 from WTSO. Light-to-medium gold in color. Beautiful fruity nose, white flowers and bit of stone fruit. More stone fruit on the palate, pears, with a non-oaky bit of creaminess. Blessedly zero tropical notes. Crisp minerally finish.
