I double-checked the label on the 2023 Chardonnay as I picked up the glass and it had a vibrant, almost Sauvignon Blanc-like tropicality. It's certainly a bright, fresh, youthful, fruit-forward expression, notably absent of overt oak characters despite ten months' aging in 20% new barrels. Yes, there's a little nougat on the zesty finish, but this wine is all about its freshness and drink-in-youth fruity vibe.
