"A bright silver-yellow color, the 2021 Chardonnay Anderson Valley opens to aromas of citrus pith, quince, yellow apple, and delicate baking spices. Medium-bodied, it's supple and approachable now, with a lovely rounded midpalate and a clean finish. It's a lovely entry to the range that can be enjoyed now or over the next 5-6 years."
