Tasting notes
Sourced from a selection of Hyde and Wente clones, the 2023 Chardonnay Ma Jolie Peake Ranch Vineyard opens with a pleasant touch of flinty reduction that flickers above honeyed green orchard fruit, fennel and white flower aromas. The palate gives equal measure to a lavish, sleek texture as well as high-toned cleansing energy that soars through the lifted, mineral-driven finish. This is a picture-perfect rendering of the site and the vintage through a classy, precise lens.

The 2023 Chardonnay Peake Ranch Vineyard Ma Jolie is cool-toned and flinty, with a distinctly reductive nose of toasted hazelnut, orange peel and baking spices. Very rounded and supple, it's a Chardonnay of sumptuous texture and creamy intensity. Mellow, gentle acidity lends support through the long, floral-inflected finish.
