Our second production from this heralded block, the infamous Wente clone benefits from its south/southwestern exposure and whiter, Goldridge soils. A bright golden hue in the glass, this single vineyard Chardonnay brings together all the hallmark characteristics reflective of this exceptional vintage. Dynamic aromas of lemon curd, nougat, wet river rock, thyme, apple skin, and white flowers are all woven together by an exquisite tension that is impossible to ignore. A soft and plush palate full of orchard fruits, pear compote, Italian almond cake, chalk, and spiced lemons present a full-bodied wine with Corton-like weight and mouthfeel, backed by an energetic tension showcasing a true elegance that will evolve effortlessly given the time to emerge. Aged in 80% new French oak, this exquisite Chardonnay epitomizes the balance of power and grace, all supported by an underbelly of mineral-laced freshness and varietal purity that can only come from pedigreed sites.
