Tasting notes
The 2023 Chardonnay Golden Slope was matured in a portion of new wood and for a longer duration than the White Hill bottling. It leads with a riper, more stone-fruited bouquet, supplemented with floral top notes and a slightly caramelized backdrop. The palate is svelte, rich and a touch honeyed before closing with a nutty, well-delineated finish enlivened by lifted saline notes.

Barrel fermented and aged 15 months in 15% new French oak, the 2023 Chardonnay Golden Slope shows a similarly bright, racy style but with remarkable purity in its stone fruits intermixed with honeyed orange, oyster shell, white flowers, and subtle spicy wood. This blossoms with air and is medium-bodied, with a pure, layered, graceful mouthfeel, terrific balance, and a great finish. It's beautifully done and will shine through 2033. Drink 2025-2033.
The 2023 Chardonnay Golden Slope is singing today. Powerful flavors of golden yellow apple, pineapple, chamomile, baking spices and white flowers sizzle from the glass, motivated by chalky acids and culminating in a velvety, nutty finish. This broad-shouldered Chardonnay is very much in the zone today.
