Predominantly from two high-elevation estate vineyards, Sable Mountain and Skycrest, the 2022 Chardonnay is rounded, fleshy, rich, and fruit-forward.

With only 650 cases made, this is a smaller production wine that impresses and should age another 10 years.

While this is passionately well-made, I can't help but gravitate toward the more chiseled bottlings in the lineup.
