Tasting notes
22 months of oak. Milky nose, baked pineapple, feathery texture, saline complexity, incredibly long. Finishes with sophisticated cereal and flinty notes. No reductive interference in the fruit signal. Superb. (RH)

The 2021 Chardonnay H. Klopp Vineyard is a very pretty, understated wine. Orchard fruit, ginger, white flowers, mint and chamomile are all nicely lifted. This nuanced Chardonnay is quite attractive. This is an especially acid-driven style, and I find it a bit austere today.
The 2021 Chardonnay H. Klopp Vineyard, from vines planted in classic Goldridge soils, is bursting with alluring, layered aromas: quince paste, honey and white peach are complemented by accents of roasted almonds and graham cracker, and the palate matches that intensity with its highly concentrated, honeyed flavors. All that flavor is supported by a spine of vibrant acidity, and a touch of textural grip drives a very long finish. This is so delicious! 300 cases were made.
