Tasting notes
The 2021 Chardonnay Golden Slope has very alluring aromas focused not on fruit but rather matchstick, fresh bread, hazelnut, honey and Greek yogurt. The palate has a luxuriously satiny mouthfeel and expressive core of savory fruit balanced by vibrant acidity and a very long, expansive finish with generous, honeyed flavors. It really begins to open after several minutes in the glass and will benefit from several more years in bottle or a long decant.

The 2021 Chardonnay Golden Slope is one of the richer wines in the range. Orchard fruit, lemon confit, marzipan, brioche and a kiss of French oak infuse the 2021 with notable textural intensity. There's a bit more of an oak imprint than in the other wines, but it works.
Another gem, the 2021 Chardonnay Golden Slope has honeyed orange, brioche, chalky mineral, and spicy notes that blossom with time in the glass. These carry to a richly textured, layered, concentrated Chardonnay with a stacked mid-palate, beautifully integrated acidity, and a great finish. It almost has a red wine-like sense of structure and will benefit from 2-3 years in the cellar.
