Meyer lemoncello nose? Has to be one of the most original chards in these USA.

Nose has grilled lemons, lemon buttercream, lime zest, distant brown butter, orange zest, dried apricot and (minor) struck flint.
Palate has dried lemon peel, pineapple core, buttercream, toasted walnuts, warm banana with faint sweetness on the very long finish with medium acidity. A great wine, decanted 4H and will appreciate at least another 3-4H of opening. Future bottles may be 2024-26+. Very good now, maybe one of the best FLX Chardonnay's I've experienced.
Partial Appassimento method for a portion of the grapes, really yields some extra character and depth to the wine. Only guy doing this in the FLX, Morten Hallgren, to the best of my knowledge. I'm coming to the altar here, it's the right way to handle his Chardonnay style. 👍
$24 direct from the winery cellar, to our cellar, to our glasses tonight. Being in the wine club has good benefits. 👌

20% Appassimento method grapes are used in this wine. Rich and round with great texture and a bit of oak. Quite dry on the finish.
