Pale in color. Driven by aromas of crushed oyster shell, lemon verbena, and nectarines. Mineral expression carries through on the palate that bursts with flint and citrus oils. A vibrant and refreshing acidity integrates beautifully with the structured richness of oak, brioche, and stone fruit flavors to create a lasting succulent finish.

"The 2022 Chardonnay Old Stones is sweetly floral in the glass, with a gorgeous blend of candied lemon, dusty sage and confectionary spice. Silken and soothingly round, it's more savory than expected, with mineral-infused orchard fruits enriched by a nuance of almond paste. The 2022 tapers off full of tension, saline in feel, with gingery spice and lime tugging at the cheeks. There is simply so much going on here."
