HdV’s Chardonnay is always one of California’s most impressive, but few realize how elegantly this wine ages over time. The 2016 is now in its early prime with its bright citrus notes still providing refreshment as the luscious texture of the wine submerges you in pure enjoyment. This beauty is drinking like a perfectly-aged Corton Charlemagne, which is not surprising considering the vineyard. You might think this would be mellow and relaxed and this age, but it is absolutely vibrant and bright with layers of tropical fruit and creamy, buttery oak to keep you satisfied and smiling for years to come. What a masterpiece.
