JS97: This is so structured with high tannins and high acidity. Full and powerful. Super phenolics and length. Light salted caramel. Ripe green apples and pineapple. Tight at the end. Flavorful finish. One for the cellar. Drink after 2026.
WA96: The 2021 Chardonnay Estate Vineyard is dynamic and expressive, with generous aromas of baklava, baked apple, toast and flint. The palate is satiny and expansive with a pleasurably sneaky crescendo of acidity to balance its generosity, and it has an energetic, flinty finish. It will benefit from 3-5 years in bottle to unwind.
