Natalie's Score: 90/100

Arguably the standout Chardonnay debuting from the 2023 vintage, this wine offers an early glimpse of tremendous potential. Despite being bottled soon after an early September harvest—with less than 10 months of maturation—the persistent influence of its lees and acidity align it with a refined style, accompanied by a hint of white pepper that lends complexity without overwhelming. Ideally enjoyed from 2024 through 2026, this wine is equally at home alongside veal cutlets with white wine sauce as it is with seafood linguine.

Chardonnay food pairings: veal cutlets with white wine sauce, seafood linguine, spring salads topped with grilled shrimp or chicken.
