Tasting notes
Another barrel sample, the 2023 Chardonnay TBH is a brilliant silver/straw color. A more intense expression all around, I understand why they haven’t bottled it yet. It takes the texture, acidity, and persistence up a notch, with electric energy, a hint of savory toast, and a waxy, rich texture that’s so pure and clean. It has fantastic depth and length, with notes of Meyer lemon. Drink after 2025.

The 2023 range from them is not to be missed.
