This is a finely constructed chardonnay coming from two vineyard sources in Oak Knoll and Coombsville with only 30% malolactic conversion. Aromas of sliced citrus, wet stones, white flowers, iodine, beeswax, phosphorus and flint. The palate is fine-tuned with a textural, mid-weighted mouthfeel and a fine line of acidity that leads into a mineral, saline and nervy finish. Atypical for Napa and with only a little fruit from the famed Stony Hill vineyards in Spring Mountain, but a wine for the chardonnay tragic who chases reduction and nervy, racy styles. At $60, this is a gem. Drink or hold.

The 2024 SHV Chardonnay uses fruit from Quartz Creek and Haynes vineyards, with blocked malolactic fermentation, and the result is aged 10 months in 30% new 300-liter and 500 litre barrels. The wine is really bright and energetic in 2024, with citrus fruit, apple orchard character, and toasty cedarwood notes. A crème brûlée character inches in, joined by reductive, flinty notes, with building tension on the medium- to full-bodied finish, ending with crisp lime notes balanced by orange oil.
