Tasting notes
A beautiful Chardonnay, the 2019 Chardonnay One Sixteen reveals a medium gold hue as well as a crisp, vibrant nose of honeyed lemon and orchard fruits intermixed with toasted brioche, honeysuckle, white flowers, and a touch of toasted almonds. These all carry over to the palate, where the wine is medium-bodied, has bright yet integrated acidity, and a clean, incredibly classy, lengthy finish. Give bottles a year or three and enjoy over the following decade.

Inviting aromas of baked green apples, lemon curd and dried herbs. Medium-to full-bodied with bright acidity and a lot of lightness and airiness. Clean, clear and linear. The citrus character gets warmer as it progresses into more grapefruit and orange with a hint of lime leaf. Very tasty. Drink or hold.
