The 2021 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast) is a fabulous appellation-level wine. Bright and focused, with lovely depth, the 2021 is a terrific offering in its peer group—or any peer group. All the elements are so well balanced. Time in the glass brings out hints of marzipan, white flowers, mint, tangerine peel and sweet spice.

Bright, focused and energetic, with quince, pear tart, tangerine and Honeycrisp apple notes on a sleek and juicy frame. Accents of almond blossoms and crystalline and candied citrus peel join a note of salted, preserved lemon and a whiff of lemon balm on the long finish, never losing that sense of energy. Drink now. —M.W.
