The light gold-hued 2021 Chardonnay Soberanes Vineyard is straight-up gorgeous, with melon, papaya, minty herbs, and honeyed minerality in its medium-bodied, vibrant, layered, lengthy profile. From a great vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands, aged 17 months in 35% new French oak, it has good concentration (it's not massive), bright, integrated acidity, and it blossoms with time in the glass. I love it today, yet this will age nicely for 5-7 years, if not longer, if well-stored.
