The 2021 Chardonnay Peter Martin Ray Vineyard is a stellar, crystalline example of this iconic site, aged in new and used barrique without bâtonnage and over-vintaged in stainless steel. Lush yet focused on the nose with a faint hint of tropical character, the palate balances forward concentration and creamy breadth with intense saline refreshment on the finish. This is already showing well but would further benefit from 2-3 years in the cellar and easily evolve for a decade beyond that. 93+

Wine Enthusiast

This classic style of California Chardonnay harkens back to a time before overtly buttery elements overtook that approach. Quite yellow in the glass, it offers rich aromas of baked peach, lemon glaze and judicious butter. The palate is tense in structure and packed with acid, yet presents a full-bodied mouthfeel of baked lemon and buttered stone fruit.
