2022 The Hilt Radian Vineyard Chardonnay
New Release
Floral and so lifted with yuzu, sage, wildflower honey and tangerine. Notes of citrus oil, lemon grass and marzipan. So bright and effusive on the palate that it seems to glow. Characteristic lime juice and sea salt keep the wine full of tension and energy. Expansive and mouthwatering. Creamy for a Radian chardonnay. Tremendous structure that remains throughout the long finish. Resinous and verdant. From fruit picked before, during, and after the warm weather in September. The combination of ripeness shows in the layers of fruit and texture that shine in this wine. - Matt Dees, Winemaker
