Note di degustazione
A pale silver/straw color, the 2021 Chardonnay Bearwallow Vineyard suggests how things can move to the next level with the single vineyard wines, offering expressive aromas of grapefruit zest, the high-toned energy of green apple, citrus blossoms, and white pepper spices, Expressing the elegance of this vineyard, it’s medium-bodied and graceful on the palate, with a long, elegant, mouthwatering finish. It’s a linear, very pretty wine to drink 2025-2037.

Showcasing another dimension of robustness than the Anderson Valley bottling, the 2021 Chardonnay Bearwallow Vineyard is opulent on the nose with orchard blossom, saffron, anise, white peach and star fruit aromas. The palate springs into treble-driven overtones of citrus zest and bright salinity, finishing with impressive length and delineation. While this is on the colorful, crunchy side of accessible now, it has clear potential for the cellar.
The 2021 Chardonnay Bearwallow Vineyard is bright, focused and intensely saline. Readers will want to cellar the 2021 for at least a few years, as it is a very serious white. Crushed rocks, mint, white pepper, slate and chalk all lend brilliance to this deceptively mid-weight, focused Chardonnay. The 2021 really sizzles.
