Per WS: “Score 93. Rich, powerful and well-structured, with lemon drop accents to the dried apple and pear tart flavors that show plenty of toasty accents. The creamy finish is boosted by rich acidity. Drink now through 2026. 18,375 cases made. Kim Marcus Issue Date: Feb 28, 2022 Release Price: $42/750mL“ FYI, I have not tried this yet.

Light golden yellow in color. Forward, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of apple, lemons/limes & slight tropical fruit notes with overtones of minerals, some butterscotch, stony, spices & a hint of oak/vanilla. Medium-light bodied with a good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of apples, lemons/limes & some tropical fruits notes with minerals, some butterscotch, stony, spices, a touch of oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present & may develop further with another year of aging.

meeting the winemaker – Patz & Hall Wines: pale yellow and mildly viscous. nose of ripe apple, pears with citrus and smoky accents. fresh and silky in the mouth, the white orchard fruit flavours have plenty of citric acidity and a very nice mineral streak.
agreeable chardonnay of moderate complexity and length that strikes a good balance between freshness and richness.
13.5% AbV; ~25% sees new oak

Lemon cream, saline, chalk dust, lime zest. Better as it warmed up.
