2021 Stars & Dust, Santa Rita Hills, Chardonnay, Old Vine, Top of the Hill Vineyard (RT94) Crafted from 48 year-old vines and produced in miniscule quantities of a mere 100 cases. This wine employed 75% used (neutral) barriques, with just 25% new for its 10 months of aging. Bright, energy charged aromatics serve up notes of citrus blossom, chalky lemon, white peach, and hints of sea salt. The balanced palate is superb, showing the depth and dimension of fruit only bona fide old vines can deliver. Utterly magnificent! Drink now-2030+
