Another with @Kimberly Anderson and crew in Chicago. Lots of tension here with fresh honeysuckle and lychee, the fruit and oak are still battling it out a bit so I’d say this needs more time in bottle, but a beautiful expression of CA Montrachet style Chardonnay from one of the leaders.

Oak has integrated well. Very rounded, mix of oak notes, minerality, and fruit. Always a powerful experience.
