Tasting notes
Full-bodied and saline with wonderful tension, carrying notes of lemons, zest and honey. The broad, rich palate shows mouth-filling, stone-fruit flavors and a core of laserlike acidity, leading to a long finish with cool citrus and minerality. This will evolve with time. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Chardonnay (West Sonoma Coast) is a fabulous debut. Bright and aromatic, the 2023 impresses with its energy, nuance and delineation. Citrus confit, white pepper, tangerine peel, slate and crushed rocks are all wonderfully vibrant in the glass. Brisk acids pull it all together on the close. Platt is a magical site. That very much comes through in this striking, poised Chardonnay. Tasted next to the Reserve, the West Sonoma Coast Chardonnay leans more into the citrus and slate mineral end of the spectrum.
