"A tank sample, the 2021 Chardonnay Freedom Hill Vineyard balances mineral character and racy acidity with surprisingly intense, exotic fruit. The nose offers grilled peach, elderflower, tarragon and ginger aromas with streaks of matchstick. Light-bodied and electric, the palate is packed with fragrant flavor layers, and it finishes long and flinty. I can't wait to see how this powerful, expressive Chardonnay comes together in bottle!" -EB, 3/9/23
