Lot 471
2021 Sonoma Carneros Chardonnay
750mlDescription
$70/bottle under the original label
We’ve secured shiners of a gorgeous 2021 Sonoma Carneros Chardonnay, direct from the cellars of a first-class Napa estate that only produces this release in select vintages. Lot 471 is a 100% block-select, single-vineyard Chardonnay from a beautiful site that stretches across the appellation's rolling hills. A stunner that’s already been perfectly cellar-aged over two years.
Beautifully Burgundian on the nose, with aromas of pear, white florals, and hints of white peach rising from the glass. The entry is all terroir – fresh, earthy, and brushed by wild mushrooms amidst deftly interwoven acidity and a soft barrel character, allowing the fruit to naturally shine. A crisp, not overly-oaked finish flaunts delicate spice and elegant vanilla blossoms. This beauty is ready to be enjoyed now, but you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t take advantage of your two-year head start and cellar a few bottles to enjoy over the next decade.
