"The 2023 Chardonnay opens with beautifully pure, fresh aromas of jasmine, citrus rinds and orchard blossoms. On the palate, it displays a live-wire, tangy energy that carries through the zesty, mineral-drenched finish. This punches far above its weight and would do so as an appellation wine, much less a regional one."

"The 2022 Chardonnay is vibrant and mineral driven, with soft scents of apricot, pear, citrus blossom and saline with savory undertones. The light-bodied palate is dynamic, beginning focused and fresh and before expanding its savory flavors, and it has an ethereal, nutty finish."
