Winemaker Notes
The 2021 Chardonnay Freedom Hill nose has an unusual aromatic density, with fresh-cut hay, peach compote, peeled almonds, dried ginger, and hints of savory. These dimensions morph on your palate into flavors of lemon curd, quince, gingerbeer, and peach pie. There is a lot of width and complexity, so much so that I pause to think about the experience. The finish is unusually long and balanced with fruit-driven sweet acidity. There is a lot here, and watching it develop over the next six to eight years should be rewarding
