Tasting notes
Dried green tropical fruits with brine and matchstick aromas. Full-bodied and very layered with a juicy, chewy mouthfeel. Lightly salted caramel. Needs time to come together. Excellent. Best in a year or two.

The 2020 Chardonnay La Rinconada Vineyard is a singular wine with exotic expression this vintage. It begins with haunting notions of chaparral and sagebrush, next offering white peaches, spring honey, roasted almonds and matchstick scents. The generous palate balances intellectual intrigue with sheer deliciousness, featuring satiny waves of herbal fruit that continue to evolve over a tremendously long finish. I love this hedonistic expression and would be inclined to drink it on the earlier side.
