Notes of mandarin, butter cream and even a touch of Greek yogurt collide generously. There is a flourish of jasmine and honeysuckle alongside supple rich citrus. A backbone of steadfast acidic lift ties the loose ends together admirably.

A Chardonnay that’s fully mature three years after the 2022 harvest, this is notably more complex than most current releases thanks to additional time for integration and development. Wisps of baking spices get this going aromatically, followed by flavors akin to baked apples and mandarin oranges.
There’s strong value in this nicely balanced, highly versatile, medium-bodied white. Softly textured but not lacking structural definition, it features flavors recalling ripe pears and orchard fruits, with just enough acidity to freshen the finish and make this as promising for the table as for stand-alone sipping.
Dry in style but still not short on flavor or satisfaction delivery, this is a stylish and versatile Riesling that will prove very enjoyable on its own or as a table companion to a wide range of dishes—not just the spicy ones often recommended for Riesling. Its aromas and flavors recalling nectarines and mandarin oranges tail off slowly in a clean finish.
Sleek, with soft tannins, this energetic red delivers cherry, plum, and hibiscus tea, with a cleansing acidity.
Toasted coconut cream, banana, and lemon-tipped white rice are bountiful and delicious starting with the first sip. Mid-palate notes of chamomile flowers add depth.
Aged in 80% concrete and 20% French oak (with partial ML), this wine’s vocal range is in the key of “G” for gorgeous. Modern and fresh, with lively notes of yellow apple, honeysuckle, pear tart, and peach blossom. A line of minerality adds to its clarity.
Restrained in both its aromatic and flavor presentation but not inexpressive in either regard, this is an exceptionally classy Chardonnay at its price level. Oak influence is muted but still detectable, with subtle accents of woodsmoke and spices swirling around a core of fruit recalling peaches and ripe Golden apples. An overachiever for either sipping or dining.
