The 2023 Holocene Pyxis Chardonnay from the Eola-Amity Hills shines in the glass with a pale straw hue edged by a glistening rim. Raised in a combination of neutral French oak and amphora, it presents an arresting aromatic profile of ripe white nectarine, golden kiwi, and honeysuckle, layered with crushed seashells and a hint of citrus peel. The palate is broad and supple, showing impressive depth yet lifted by a spine of vibrant acidity that keeps the wine taut and alive. Notes of peach skin and Meyer lemon weave through the textured mid-palate, while mineral undertones of chalk and saline carry the wine into a long, structured finish. Highly recommended.
