Score 89/100 · Drink 2021-2027, Jeb Dunnuck, Jan 2021
Revealing a deeper gold hue, the 2017 Chardonnay Spring Mountain District has a slightly evolved style, yet it stays fresh and lively on the palate, with bright yet integrated acidity. Notes of caramelized orange brioche, marzipan, and honeyed flowers give way to a medium-bodied, balanced Chardonnay that I suspect will age nicely for 4-6 years.
