This is grippy and intense with so much dried fruit with pineapple, grapefruit skin and lemon and lime. Full body, dense and layered with a bright and intense finish. Very contrasting and powerful wine, but it feels energized at the end.

A hint of flint joins a grilled peach note alongside a litsea oil accent, giving this generous and distinctive version an appealingly savory opening, with crushed rock details. Offers a touch of chalk, with more generous fruit flavors of pineapple, mango and tangerine. Elements of tarragon and lemon basil join a lingering note of jasmine on the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2036. 1,385 cases made.

The 2021 Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard has a powerful expression, with highly concentrated flavors and generous, juicy acidity. Wafts of iodine, seaweed and lemon peel give way to undertones of almonds and beeswax waiting to emerge. Medium-bodied and lively, the palate catches you off guard with its bursts of concentrated, grapefruit-tinged flavors, tangy acidity and satiny mouthfeel, and a touch of grip draws out the candied-citrus finish. It deserves 2-3+ years to unfold in bottle and will be long lived.
