The stunning 2021 Prime Cut Chardonnay rests for 11 months in about 35% new French oak and is selected from the vintage’s most textured barrels. A light to medium lemon-gold core with a water rim in the glass, it explodes with aromas of white peach, dusty earth, honeysuckle flower, and just a smudge of cheese rind and dried sage. The perfect levels of lemony acidity and long, succulent finish kept me coming back to the glass for more. Medium to full-bodied across the palate, it gifts an orchard fruit and spicey note on the mid and back palate. Highly recommended and editor’s choice.
