This is majestic California Chardonnay flirting with perfection upon release; a high-wire act of power and finesse. It opens with citrus zest and vanilla bean, then builds into a richly textured, mouthwatering palate where juicy acidity meets opulent depth. Layers of lemon, tangerine, and mandarin unfold with precision, while a subtle touch of reduction adds lift and complexity on the long finish. My team and I were dazzled by the interplay of fresh tropical fruit and macadamia-nut richness, all carried on an oh-so-silky texture. Decant (seriously) prior to 2028 and enjoy through 2033. 99 points now and a candidate for triple digits with cellar time.
