Tasting notes
The 2021 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard is perfumed and exotic. It has layered aromas of candied apricot, alpine herbs, honey, almonds and crème fraîche. The medium-bodied palate is expansive and mouth coating with generous flavors. Firm, shimmery acidity balances its hedonistic edge, and it should be long lived in the cellar. 787 cases were made.

Bright straw-colored, the 2021 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard is forward on the nose with notes of melon rind, fresh pear, flint, and delicate baking spice, and it has a lot of vibrant nature. Medium to full-bodied, it offers fantastic tension and a linear feel with great length, and it’s going to age very well. Drink 2025-2040.
The 2021 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard is another dense, ample wine in this range. The Woolsey Road has a good deal of phenolic intensity. There's real breadth and resonance here. Lemon confit, white pepper and dried herbs are nicely amplified.
