This young chardonnay vineyard, just 13 years old, is starting to fully express itself. It’s a little racy in a chablis kind of way, sporting brisk acidity and keen, juicy fruit. Opens with aromas of lemon blossom, all lemony clean and bright. Nougat, Granny Smith apple and lemon rind busy the palate, oak is worked into the budding almond mealy, textural mouthfeel. Comes to a taut close. Give it time, it will be rewarded.
