Based on Chardonnay yet including 19% Roussanne and 6% Marsanne, all of which is resting in 63% new French oak, the 2023 Chardonnay Brain Teaser has a lighter gold hue, followed by a rocking nose of candied lemon zest, minty herbs, flowers, and subtle blanched almond nuances. With medium to full-bodied richness, a layered, rich, yet elegant mouthfeel, and juicy, lip-smacking finish, this beauty is going to shine right out of the gate yet also have a solid decade or more of longevity.
