Tan Fruit Oak Grove Vineyard Chardonnay 2021

Robert ParkerThe 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!

VinousThe 2021 Chardonnay Oak Grove Vineyard is vividly fresh, blending crushed green apples, mint and wet stone. This is elecric on the palate, stimulating with zesty acidity and mineral-tinged orchard fruit depths. It finishes with a tinge of savory spice and hints of lime zest - potent, full of tension, yet incredibly fresh. all wente clone-refined for twelve months in barrel and six months in steel.
