Medium cloudy lemon. Creamy lemon mousse with chalky undertones to the nose. Rich and layered with buttery, lightly salted brioche, spread with lemon cream and swathed in high-quality oak leading to aromatic vanilla and cedar notes. Bright acidity and a pinch of lemon pith at the end. It's classic California and absolutely brilliant.
The 2021 Chardonnay (Napa Valley) is stellar. Wonderfully refined and airy, the 2021 impresses with its total harmony. It is especially elegant. Whether that is due to the vintage, a tendency to pick on the earlier side these days, or the combination of sites, the 2021 is magnificent, if a bit less showy than it used to be. Readers should plan on cellaring it for a few years.
