Chardonnay Oak Grove Vineyard 2021 Tan Fruit

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (97)

The 2021 Chardonnay Oak Grove Vineyard, from vines situated on sedimentary soil, is energetic and mineral-driven this vintage. Barrel fermented and finished in stainless steel, it opens with streaks of matchstick that give way to a core of red apples, yogurt, pie spice and lemon peel. The light-bodied palate has a silky texture and is buzzing with bright acidity and flinty nuance. It has a concentrated core of ripe citrus and a very long, mineral-driven finish. The Oak Grove's salty, tangy character, reminiscent of Chablis, makes it impossible to put down!

Seductive nose of green apples, white peaches, jasmine tea and plenty of wild herbs. Medium-bodied with a well-rounded texture and profile. Elegant and textural. Well-driven and clean, with a fresh acidity kicking in toward the flavorful, succulent finish. Steely and fresh. Drink or hold.
