2023 The Hilt Puerta del Mar Vineyard Chardonnay

Spring 2026 Release

Chamomile, peach and brioche. All things baked with a bit of sweet cream. Christmas spice and mineral. Loquat and salted lemon peel. Expansive and suave. Moves like silk across the palate. Cinnamon and almond flour. Long and focused. Pear and yuzu on the attack followed by lovely note of golden cherries. The finish pushes with salinity and minerality and lingers with mandarin and a touch of gentle structure. As cool as the breeze that blows over this little vineyard at the far western edge of the valley. - Matt Dees, Winemaker
