2023 Nickel & Nickel Chardonnay, Truchard Vineyard, Carneros   

This is an elegant wine with flavors of pear, lemon-lime and citrus. Mineral and stone elements integrate nicely with the fruit, and the French oak adds a toasty flavor, but it’s the balance of this vintage that is unique. This wine has a lovely texture that carries the fruit from start to the finish.
