2023 "The Oaked" Chardonnay, Block 12 Kaltoff Commons, Livermore Valley
Fermented and aged sur lie in neutral oak for 10 months, this wine carries aromas of baked peach and preserved Meyer lemon, with a lithe texture that is soft and pillowy. Bright acid keeps it fresh. Each sip reveals another nuance. This is a Chardonnay that unfolds like origami. Pair with shrimp salad on croissant or brioche buns; pan seared sole or halibut with lemon butter; crab cakes with lemon aioli; potato chips with artichoke dip.
