"The 2019 Chardonnay shows lovely hints of nuance that have started to develop in bottle. Lemon confit, apricot, yellow flowers, mint, tangerine oil and a touch of honey are all typical of a wine with some bottle age. Creamy and expansive in feel, the 2019 is showing so well today."

"Precise and fresh, offering perfectly ripe Bartlett pear, lemon zest and Fuji apple flavors, with hints of makrut lime leaf and sea salt, followed by a note of buttery brioche on the elegant finish. Drink now through 2038. 1,336 cases made."
