2021 Aequorin Chardonnay

This full-bodied and lavishly oak-aged wine achieves admirable richness, being barrel fermented and going through the malolactic fermentation that enhances buttery aromas and a nicely viscous mouthfeel. Aromas of lavender and poached pears give way to baked apples, butter and cream on the palate, where a vein of crisp acidity keeps it well-balanced. Drink now or hold. (03/2024)

A pale silver/yellow hue, the 2021 Chardonnay Aequorin is beautifully detailed in the glass with citrus oil, lime oil, delicate flint, pure poached pear, and fresh almondine. Offering a supple, silky texture, it’s long and has a weightless, coating feel as well as underlying electricity and fantastic length. It doesn't get much better than this. (08/2024)
