The 2020 Chardonnay UV - El Diablo Vineyard is extraordinarily impressive, particularly given the multitude of challenges this vintage. It was matured for 12 months in 33% new French oak and finished with six months in stainless steel. The nose is complex and pure with continually evolving scents of white peach, panna cotta, lime peel, coriander seed and floral perfume. The palate is luxurious and satiny with a harmony of expansive, perfumed fruit and focused acidity, and its very long, energetic finish is addicting. No reason to lay this down—enjoy it over the next 3-5+ years. 350 cases were made.

Taking on a bit sunnier and riper profile, the 2020 Chardonnay El Diablo Vineyard is rounded with aromas of pine, ripe apple, and incense. Full-bodied, with fleshy orchard fruit of ripe peach, orange oil, and fresh herbs. It offers a lot of complexity and richness without feeling heavy. It has a bit of pithy texture, notes of soft stone and cantaloupe, and a long finish. I love its fresh style, but it will continue to improve over the coming 6-8 years.
