Linda Vista Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

Not getting a ton on the nose. Maybe some slight lemon and white flowers.

Good fruit flavor but also overpowering acidity.

Lemons, citrus, slight stone fruit but not a ton.

Good. Feel like because there’s no to little malo, the natural acid stays top.

Very waxy on open. Traditional malo notes and oak coming through. Would have liked a bit more acidity to brighten it up — 8 months ago

Almost flawless and absolutely at its peak. The oak and the malo conversion is perfectly executed. — 4 years ago

First time trying this, and we were very impressed. Lots of orchard fruits on the nose, with a hint of baked apples. Very little perceptible wood treat on the nose or palate. It presents crisp on the palate with a nice bright acidity, but has volume and weight. Love the fruit and moderate sweetness. Less malo and nutty notes make this a big hit for us.

Chablis-like restraint in a very good way. Nose is tense, citrus and lots of limestone, an almost reductive floral nose and a touch of silky softness to balance. Acidity is high but not crazy, strange considering the house style is supposedly to inhibit all malo. Great stuff, I want to drink lots of it — 4 years ago
