The 2024 Chardonnay White Walnut Vineyard shows a touch of youthful volatile character initially, though it quickly blows off. Tropical fruit, fresh flowers, almondine, wet stone, flinty earth, mango, and tremendous salinity emerge with air. Full-bodied, long, chalky, and focused, it will benefit from another year or more in bottle to fully integrate the toast. Drink 2026-2040.

There is a compelling feel of cool salinity, verve and energy running through this wine, with subtle fleeting aromas of fresh pine forest and spring blossoms. Medium- to full-bodied with textural layers of juicy acidity and citrus oil, framed by a judicious use of oak. From biodynamically grown grapes. Complex and incredibly drinkable now, but will age well. Drink or hold.
