Another killer Chardonnay from the team at Walter Scott, the 2021 X Novo Vineyard, is velvety, round, and structured on the palate. Refined and classy in every way, it showcases a glowing medium lemon core with a light yellow rim in the glass. Aromas of honey-coated Bartett pear, bruised apple, white tea, crushed stones, and sea breeze are all integrated with the lovely backbone of lemony acidity and lemon herbs that are enjoyed on the finish. A beautiful and age-worthy Chardonnay that should keep well for the next decade or more. Highly recommended and editor’s choice.
