Tasting notes
A bright silver-yellow color, the 2021 Chardonnay Anderson Valley opens to aromas of citrus pith, quince, yellow apple, and delicate baking spices. Medium-bodied, it’s supple and approachable now, with a lovely rounded midpalate and a clean finish. It’s a lovely entry to the range that can be enjoyed now or over the next 5-6 years.

The 2021 Chardonnay Anderson Valley, formerly bottled as Alesia, is a more weighty, exotic offering than its Santa Cruz Mountains counterpart. Aromas of ripe orchard and stone fruits with citrus zest dominate the nose, leading to a tender, pleasant and robust palate. Clean, vibrant and balanced on the finish, this is ready to be enjoyed now but will surely do well in the cellar.
