An absolutely brilliant showing from winemaker Justin Willett, who has crafted this sensational, terroir driven Chardonnay from the La Rinconada Vineyard. This striking Chardonnay opens to seductive aromas of citrus peel, flinty minerals, smoke, white flowers and crushed stones, all coming together and bursting from the glass. The mouthfeel is simply gorgeous, as this is beautifully balanced, with a lovely touch of acidity framed by minerality and citrus nuances, that weave their way into the finish. Accessible and remarkably expressive at this stage, this Chardonnay is amongst the most impressive in all of California and should offer years of drinking pleasure ahead.
