Great to finally get this in a glass. PB CH grapes came into the winery pristine, fully intact and healthy. I remember tasting the macros and thinking how they would turn out, given how crisp and fresh they were on the palate with zingy acid and full flavor. Direct translation from vineyard and vintage to bottle, always a hallmark of these wines. Energetic, fresh, bursting with bright flavors of citrus, crisp orchard fruits, chartreuse, and lemon blossom, all backed by a jolt of salty minerality. Focused, nothing excessive, nothing too austere either, very harmonious and even-keeled on all fronts.

This wine is like a reverse mullet - all honey and cream and ripe yet precise orchard fruit up front giving way to a forceful mineral finish that lingers long after the fruit. Unlike a reverse mullet, this wine is captivating. Thanks @Max Kogod and #kogodwinemerchant !

Tension with a little time in California creates some remarkable things. Saline on the finish, but cream and hazelnuts up front. Along with a few others, this is the top of California Chardonnay for me.

Among my favorites for New World Chard year after year. Wonderful texture with just the right amount of oak and acidity that ties it all in a bow.
