Tasting notes
The 2019 Chardonnay Tank Fruit evolves in the glass: honeyed florals and peaches are contrasted by a dusting of spice and hints of raw almond. This is juicy, round, and wonderfully textural, of ripe orchard fruit depths energized by vibrant acidity. It's incredibly fresh, long and spicy, forcing the mouth to water for more as a saline tinge slowly fades. Energy in a bottle.

The Chardonnay Tank Fruit comes from the same Oak Grove fruit as that vineyard designate, but was aged a bit longer, with 12 months in oak and another 12 months in stainless steel. It is pure, ultra perfumed, intense and layered, with alluring white peaches and lilac interwoven with cashews and honeycomb on the nose. The palate derives incredible energy from the push-pull of those deeper tones with salty, energetic acidity, and it finishes with extraordinary length.
