Tasting notes
The 2019 Chardonnay Summum opens from initial notes of matchstick and iodine to reveal peach, honeycomb, jasmine and spice as it blossoms in the glass. The medium-bodied palate balances concentrated, savory flavors and focused acidity. It has a gently rounded texture and finishes with great length.

Nectarines and lemon zest combine with almond paste and hints of mint as the 2019 Chardonnay Summum slowly blossoms in the glass. Texturally deep, it smoothes over the palate with silken contours, displaying mineral-laced apples and pears energized by a core of stimulating acidity. It leaves a flinty sensation that lingers on, finishing quite mineral in style with a tinge of savory spice that resonates. I love the contrast of salty, savory and sweet, which lends the 2019 an almost sultry character.
