WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Vervain tea, poached pear, white flowers and marine air. Pretty, classic and expressive. Silky cherimoya and slate with crystalline purity.
TASTING NOTES:
The 2023 Chardonnay Maresh Vineyard seduces with a burst of crushed flint stones, dusty sage, nectarine and gingery spice. Its textures are otherworldly, nearly oily yet sleek, with a sour citrus nervousness that excites the palate as opulently ripe apricot settles of the senses. Despite its weight and intensity, this 2023 Chardonnay leaves the palate reeling with tension, salty and lime intense, with a strong mineral resonance that adds lasting crunchiness. Gorgeous today yet balanced for a long evolution.
- Vinous, 97 pts.
Precise and elegantly sculpted, with delicately layered lemon, green apple and jasmine blossom accents that dance on the supple yet vibrant finish.
