A light golden hue, the 2021 Chardonnay Beyond The Threshold is layered with honeyed citrus and delicate smoke and flush with floral perfume that expands in the glass. This has another gear on the palate, with more fresh acidity and notes of candied lime, green apple, and warming spices that last on the finish. It’s very attractive and will be great over the next 10 years. - Audrey Frick

The 2021 Beyond the Threshold Chardonnay comes from a single block in Sanchez Vineyard in Petaluma Gap. It slowly unfurls to reveal notes of pear tart, butterscotch, lemon curd, and grapefruit giving way to wafts of allspice and toasted almonds. The full-bodied palate is rich and opulent with a creamy texture and wonderful tension, finishing long and spicy.

Baked apples, mangoes, grapefruit and buttered toast on the nose. Focused and toasty with a full body and tasty pastry undertones. Impressive persistency, evolving to smoked almonds and crushed stones at the end. Drink now or hold.

Fresh and juicy, with pineapple, pear and citrus flavors that are generous and juicy at the core, complementing the more robust notes of salted butter shortbread, vanilla bean and listea oil that linger on the long, impressive finish. Drink now through 2030. 120 cases made.
