Tasting notes
Light gold-hued, the 2023 Chardonnay A26 offers rocking aromatics of bright citrus, lemon blossom, crushed stone, and white flowers. Barrel fermented and aged six months in 83% new and 17% once-used French oak, it's medium-bodied and has a vibrant, focused mouthfeel with nicely integrated acidity and a great finish. It's a gorgeous, classic, impeccably made Chardonnay that should drink well for a decade. Drink 2025-2035.

The 2023 Chardonnay A26 is a serious, structured white. Lemon confit, chalk, mint, white pepper and dried herbs confer tons of savory nuance to this saline, imposing mountain wine. There's a ton of character here. This cold site yielded a wine of notable distinction. The airy style is quite appealing.
