Coming from the Wolff Vineyard in the coastal appellation, the 2023 Chardonnay offers outstanding value, balanced in acidity and medium-bodied weight, with a softness to the palate that has wide appeal. The producer has been making this wine since 1985, barrel-fermenting over eight months in all French oak, 20% new. There’s a wealth of stone and tropical fruit that gives it an instant likeability and easy introduction, while not shirking on complexity or depth. Drink now through 2033.
