"Joyful and juicy but also concentrated and very precise, this is a stunning cool-climate chardonnay. Brimming with sliced pear, white peach and white flower aromas. The delicate oak is already beautifully integrated on the mouth-filling yet only medium-bodied palate. Then comes a wave of toasted hazelnut flavor in the very long and super-silky finish. Drink from release."

"The 2024 Chardonnay Lahoma Vineyard is a little soft around the edges, but it offers attractive layers of minty, gingery, creamy orchard fruit. The inclusion of two new puncheons in vinification and aging brings a notable new-oak influence that feels somewhat intrusive at this stage. Hopefully that will integrate with time, but I'll remain conservative for now."
