Sphaerics 2024 Chardonnay "if and only if", Upper Barn Vineyard, Alexander Valley

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 98+ Points

This is a great Chardonnay from a legendary vineyard. It unveils pristinely-focused aromas of honey-drenched pastry, peach Melba, sweet fresh apple, dried mango, hazelnut nougat, baking spice, flint and chalk. Its the mouth, it shows great focus and delivers wonderfully supple flavors that perfectly mirror the nose and linger with a Grand Cruller quality mix of intensity and delicacy. Quite splendid already, it is sure to be much grander in another three years. 600 6-packs produced.
