The 2017 Chardonnay Oliver's Vineyard, aged 16 months in 20% new French oak, opens minerally with crushed shell, petrichor and saline notes, slowly opening to lemon pith, almonds and crunchy tree fruits with hints of white blossoms. It’s light to medium-bodied and tensile, slowly expanding outward to notes of honeycomb and hazelnut, reined in by juicy acidity and finishing long and energetic. This should improve well in bottle.
