Tasting notes
The 2021 Chardonnay Radian Vineyard was barrel fermented and matured for 13 months in 31% new French oak. It opens with savory flint, honey and mushroom aromas and becomes more expressive with ample time in the glass. The light-bodied palate is luxuriously silky, its floral flavors enlivened by energetic acidity, and it has a long, flinty finish. Give it 2-3+ years in bottle. Just 77 cases were made.

Pouring a golden yellow, the 2021 Chardonnay Radian Vineyard brings forward pure, fresh aromatics of candied lime citrus, well-managed oak spice, and wet stone. Medium-bodied, with a cleansing mineral texture and fresh lift, it’s fresh with green melon, bright acidity, a light saline note, and a hint of crushed earth. It’s a very pretty style of white to hold or drink over the next 10 years.
