Instantly Tapanappa with this second label wine too – something about the golden white peach fruit that makes this a Croser-influenced label. Definitely some of the old Petaluma Chardonnay about this wine too – it feels golden and open, the fruit still with a grapefruit acid-shaped profile, but with sunny white and yellow ripe peach layered on top. It doesn’t quite tighten up like the refined and taut Tiers wine, instead trading in a little melon on the finish. A drink now, sunny Chardonnay with weight, it’s going to be popular, even if it might tip a little bit over into weightiness for gold medal points. REVIEWED MAY 2025
Best drinking: good now. 17.7/20, 92/100. 13.9%, $60. Would I buy it? Worth a few glasses
