This impressive white delivers a core of quince, lemon rind and apple that blends with accents of white flower and lemongrass. Crisp acidity drives the freshness on the textured palate, offering elegance and plenty of layers of intrigue. This will do well in the cellar."

"The 2016 Chardonnay offers subdued notes of pear blossom, cheese rind, cremini mushroom, fresh apples, hay and clover honey with baker's yeast hints. The light to medium-bodied palate begins minerally before fleshing out to honeyed fruits lifted by juicy acidity and finishing long and nutty. This took a long time to come around after being open, so give it more time in bottle or a long decant. Rating: 93+"

The 2020 Chardonnay is a powerful, savory wine. Dried citrus peel, chamomile, crushed flowers and herbs infuse the 2020 with quite a bit of aromatic nuance. The 2020 is just a touch light and edgy, but that is the vintage. Overall, this is nicely done.
