2021 Signal Ridge Vineyard ChardonnayMendocino Ridge, USA

The 2021 Chardonnay opens with aromas of citrus blossom, jasmine, and bay laurel. Notes of white peach, lime zest, and orange curd are backed by a persistent minerality. A deft balance of textural richness and fresh acidity culminates in an undeniably delicious classic Chardonnay.

95 points, Decanter: "A beautifully refined Chardonnay with irresistible pure fruit flavours, tension, and vivacity. Alluring quince, lime zest, Marcona almonds, and Lilly of the Valley all embody a heady bouquet. At the same time, the wine layers itself on the palate with a penetrating core of quince and Marzipan enveloped in vanilla essence. What’s most striking is the minerality, which has three-dimensional qualities, evoking round wet river stones and fractured slate, which, married with the crystalline acid tension, brings the wine into focus and carries the finish for well over a minute. On top of all that complexity, it is one of the brightest wines from the entire appellation and a true testament to the slice of spectacular terroir."
