Tasting notes
The 2019 Chardonnay Allen Vineyard is fresh with pineapple, lime blossom, and toasted brioche. The palate is ripe with sweet pear, apple blossom, lemon custard, and pretty white flowers and mint. It has a soft texture and is open and drinking well now. Drink it over the next 8-10 years.

The 2019 Chardonnay Allen Vineyard, from fruit farmed by Tom Rochioli, offers stunning amplitude and intensity. Scented of Meyer lemon, crushed almonds, beeswax, wet stone and spring butter, the medium-bodied palate expands from bright citrus to honeyed stone fruits as it coats the mouth with its satiny texture. It has refreshing, tangy acidity, and its flavor intensity continues to build across the tremendously long finish. Wow!
