2021 Wayfarer Vineyard 'The Estate' Chardonnay Fort Ross-Seaview
The 2021 Chardonnay showcases a brilliant play of structure, intensity and elegance. Aromas of almond, jasmine, ground ginger and lemon meringue pie flow from the glass. On the palate, citrus, lemongrass and toasted brioche take center stage, accompanied by tropical notes and hints of stone fruit. The boisterous acidity, voluminous texture and stunning minerality of this wine lead into a flinty, persistent finish. The 2021s will age gracefully for many years.
Wine Advocate
The 2021 Chardonnay The Estate is delightfully decadent and almost feels like a guilty pleasure—it's so packed with flavor! It has gregarious aromatic layers of warm peach, summer honey, candied citrus and wafts of allspice. The medium-bodied palate is luxuriously satiny and features expansive, concentrated flavors. Despite its generosity, it maintains balance with bright acidity, and it has an epically long finish.
