The 2021 is a fusion of fruit and floral aromas, highlighted by chamomile, lemon meringue, sweet ginger, and poached pear. This wine is acid-driven, with a generous mid-palate and length, and a lingering freshness, including flavors of lemon, spiced almond, and nutmeg.
JD 92: "The 2021 Chardonnay Estate is a bright straw yellow hue and was aged for 10 months in 30% new French oak. It’s expressive on opening, with notes of honeysuckle, melon, fresh pear, and candied citrus. Medium to full-bodied, it’s juicy on the palate, with a lovely, elegant feel and a kiss of sweet fruit through the finish. It’s going to show its best over the next 5-6 years."
