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.

The 2021 Chardonnay Soberanes Vineyard was matured for 15 months in 35% new French oak. It has mineral-driven scents of iodine and river stone with nuances of beeswax, cashew and jasmine. The light-bodied palate features a slowly unfurling core of honeyed flavors. Its gently creamy texture is balanced by bright acidity, and it has a long, flavorful finish. It will benefit from 2-3 years in bottle. - Erin Brooks

Delicate aromas of buttercream and Meyer lemon paste make for a subtly engaging nose on this bottling from the Pisoni family. The palate's textural grip is quite intense and appealing, framing the flavors of lemon cream, apple peel and soft meringue. — Matt Kettmann

Supple and elegant, with a fleshy core of peach, white raspberry and lemon curd flavors that are generous and focused. Delivers details of salted butterscotch, lime zest, wild fennel and lemon blossoms, with salty minerality leaving a fresh, detailed finish. Drink now through 2030. - MW
