Dried flowers and herbs drive the nose, accented by honeysuckle, baked lemon and wet stone. Full-bodied, vibrant and racy with a linear elegance. There is a steady, fine hand at work here. Very good balance and great intensity. Darker, mineral finish. JS

The 2016 Chardonnay B.A. Thieriot Vineyard has a dense, rich nose of honeysuckle, lanolin, warm peaches, honeycomb, lemon curd, lime peel and petrichor—so many beautiful layers! Light to medium-bodied, it's packed with so many layers of flavor but is never heavy, not even for a second, and is lifted by bright acid, finishing very long, layered and textured. RP
