2023 The Hilt Radian Vineyard Chardonnay

Spring 2026 Release

Agave, early apricot, challah and bergamot oil. Lemon verbena. Yellow and green vibes with absolute purity and precision. Still very taut and tense with energy pulsing throughout. Classic Radian lime juice and zest. Great verve and bite alongside inviting richness. Reticent and compact today but begins to open with time in the glass. Fresh and very fragrant. Turns to laser beam on finish with mouthwatering acidity and essence of orange oil. Doesn't seem to end. As always, one can taste the wind, the salt and the cold sunshine of the Radian Vineyard. Such a powerfully evocative wine.  On day two and three, it is the length of this wine that the highlight. - Matt Dees, Winemaker
