Score 94/100 · Drink 2022-2030, Jeb Dunnuck, Jul 2021

One of the richer, rounder, more textured wines in the lineup, the 2019 Chardonnay Joy Road Vineyard offers beautiful stone fruits and honeyed tangerine-like nuances to go with medium to full-bodied richness on the palate, terrific mid-palate depth, integrated oak, and a great finish. I never find this wine to be as aromatically complex as the other wines in the lineup, but it brings beautiful depth and texture on the palate and is a joy to drink. I would give bottles 6-12 months in the cellar, and it should evolve and age gracefully for at least 7-8 years.

The 2019 Chardonnay Joy Road Vineyard offers a bit more fleshiness and depth than the other Chardonnays in the range, but with all of the energy that is such a signature in 2019. Light tropical notes, tangerine oil, exotic flowers and a kiss of spice all flesh out in a supple, creamy Chardonnay that will be ready to drink with just a year or two in bottle.
