WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Brick & Mortar 2024 Anderson Valley Chardonnay is aromatic in the glass, combining fresh citrus and floral elements. The palate is framed by racy acidity, with a richness of fruit and hints of oak toasted hazelnut and hard spice. Ripe melon, quince andyellow apple flavors are coupled with mandarin zest, juniper and thyme. The wine is textured and elegant exuding the warm sunny growing days and cool temperatures of Anderson Valley.
Blend: 100% Chardonnay
TASTING NOTES:
A linear and focused, medium-bodied wine with lovely aromas of basil, mint, honeysuckle, citrus blossoms and chalk. A minerally core is surrounded by sumptuous flavors of pears, lemons and limes and tense energy. A delicate white floral note in the finish. Drink or hold.
- James Suckling, 94 pts.
Fresh, structured, and plush on the palate, the 2024 Chardonnay is sourced from Ferrington Vineyard, a fresh and very giving wine. A small percentage is barrel-fermented in new oak, which adds impressive length and texture to the crunch of pear and toasty spice.
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 pts.
