Tasting notes
The 2021 Chardonnay Juliet leads with a flashy, reductive, flint-dominated nose accented by citrus curd and sea-spray aromas. This stylistic energy translates to the palate's precise yet subtly glossy texture, concluding with a live-wire finish and creamy remnants of richness. It will be interesting to see where this goes in the cellar, as it leans heavily into a reductive style, which, if tamed by time in the cellar, could bring it to another level of completeness.

The 2021 Chardonnay Juliet is a bit of a mystery. Despite the wine's considerable energy, heavy reduction is impossible to look past. Reduction has been an issue in the past with the Juliet; in my experience, time does not help. Readers will want to approach the 2021 with caution.
