"Citrus blossoms, crushed stones, fresh herbs and vanilla blossoms with incredible length and minerality. Wonderful concentration and density, it™s so flavorful and fresh at the same time. Medium-bodied. Drink or hold."

"The 2023 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley) delivers layers of chalk, oyster shell and white flowers that gain volume by way of a gentle wash of toasty French oak richness. Mouthwatering and focused, the mid-weight 2023 has an attractive Old World bent and great freshness."

"The 2022 Chardonnay Estero takes time to shake off initial tones of struck match to reveal scents of lemon, lime leaves, crème fraîche and spice. The light-bodied palate offers surprisingly concentrated layers of ripe, lemony fruit. It balances an expansive, creamy texture with tangy acidity and has a long, flinty finish. It will benefit from 2-3+ years in the cellar."
