Lot 330
2021 Sonoma County Chardonnay

Pale yellow straw in the glass. Gorgeous, succulent bouquet of lychee, orange marmalade, white peach, vanilla blossom and baked baguette, with a whisper of oyster shell minerality giving lift and freshness. Still youthful and evolving, the nose is going to develop into something really fantastic with a few more months of barrel. Rich yet vibrant on entry, with a broad and generous mid-palate weight concentrating in a saline mineral finish, with lingering notes of toasted brioche, allspice, and vanilla creme brulee. Fantastic verve throughout but the wood notes are dominant right now. The additional barrel time will give the fruit time to come up. Trust me, this is going to be fantastic!
