2020 Vine Hill Chardonnay
Notes
Green-tinged pale yellow. Green citrus rind and citrus floral redolent aromatics matched by earthen influenced tones, notably marked by struck flint and toasted hazelnuts. Always a wine of stark contrasts seamlessly interwoven into one. Deeply textured and concentrated yet tightly wound and sharply delineated given its high natural acids. Multilayered core flavors of lime blossom, heirloom green orchard fruit and crushed rock. Finishes as always with impressive length, energy and spine.

The 2020 Chardonnay Vine Hill Vineyard brings more lifted and savory notes of pine, fresh thyme, and lemon verbena. The palate is fresh and ripe, with peach, custardy richness, and driving saline minerality. Drink 2023-2032.

The 2020 Chardonnay Vine Hill Vineyard unfurls scents of yellow apples, lemon-lime, meringue and elderflower with stony notes. The palate is satiny and mouth-coating with concentrated candied citrus flavors. It has a great interplay of creamy, meringue-like character and bright, tangy acidity, and it has a very long, ethereal finish.

Aromas of sliced lemon, fresh flowers and thyme. Medium-bodied with a sturdy core of fruit and herbs that takes on white-tea character, adding delightful complexity and nuance. Slightly salty, too. Layered. Classic structure.
