Drink 2024–2033
The 2023 Chardonnay is nutty and elegant, and the fruit is plump but restrained; it courses from the mid-palate and through the finish with all the seamlessness of scissors cutting through wrapping paper with nary a snag. This is lightweight but all in proportion and balance, and I find the quiet nature of it to be a beautiful thing. It's graceful, elegant and quiet. 13% alcohol, sealed under Diam.
