A rich golden hue with a slight haze, the 2021 Chardonnay Four Hearts Vineyards is a bit more inward aromatically at the moment but has a darker tone, with warming notes of toasted cedar, spice, and ripe, baked orchard fruits, Full-bodied, with a nutty texture and notes of ripe yellow pear, tangerine, and almond, it has a pithy texture and meatiness throughout. Drink 2024-2030.

Mouth filling, generous but well balanced, this full-bodied wine wafts brown butter, toasted almond and baked apple aromas, followed by a rich palate of ripe fruits and subtle oak spices backed by gentle acidity. It is spot on for a Russian River Chard.

The 2021 Chardonnay Four Hearts Vineyard was barrel fermented and matured for eight months in 28% new French oak. It’s coiled on the nose with delicate scents of lemon peel, oyster shell, crème fraîche and nutmeg. The light-bodied palate pairs bright, citrusy flavors with youthful allspice tones. It has a silky texture, energetic acidity and a mineral-driven finish. Give it 3-5 years in bottle to unwind. 1,871 cases produced.
