A bright pale yellow hue, the 2024 Chardonnay Worden Hill Road comes from one of the four distinct ridges extending east, each producing profoundly unique wines. This site leans into saline oyster shell character, with non-fruit descriptors driving the expression. Bright saline earth, Mirabelle plum, tropical fruit, tangerine zest, and briny minerality define the wine. Full-bodied yet remarkably vertical, it remains bone dry, focused, and refined, with plenty of life ahead over the next decade or more. Drink 2026-2038.

A lovely range of aromas, including crushed rocks, white and yellow peaches, yuzu, finger limes and flinty minerality. Flavors of juicy peaches and grapefruit greet the palate. Warm spices and curry leaves in the finish. Medium-bodied. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
