The 2016 Chardonnay Cahill Lane gives up loads of honeyed peaches and ripe apple notes with touches of nutmeg, baking bread and marzipan. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with layer upon layer of bread, nut and stone fruit flavors, supported by bright, refreshing acid and a creamy texture, finishing with fantastic length. 1,064 cases produced.

The 2016 Chardonnay Cahill Lane Vineyard is one of the more powerful, reticent wines in the range. I will not be surprised if Steve Hansel waits a few years to release this, as the wine clearly needs time. Even so, it is quite attractive today.
