Tasting notes
Shy to begin, the 2018 Estate Chardonnay hints at petrichor, lime peel, roasted almonds and elderflower on the nose. The light-bodied palate is minerally to begin, bursting with juiciness and fleshing out to broad pastry and nutty flavors, finishing very long. Lovely! Give it another 2-3 years in bottle. 465 cases produced.

Peay's 2018 Chardonnay Estate is a superb wine that shows just how pedigreed Sonoma Coast Chardonnay can be. What I like most about the 2018 is its translucent personality and weightless sense of elegance. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint, white pepper and dried flowers are all finely-knit, but it is the wine's textural feel that really elevates it into the realm of the sublime. A touch of reduction adds lingers on the finish nicely, without being obtrusive. (AG)
