Tyler La Rinconada Vineyard Chardonnay, Sta Rita Hills, USA 2021 Château d'Yquem Concentrated and fragrantThe 2021 Chardonnay La Rinconada Vineyard blossoms dramatically as it spends time in the glass, opening with saline and crme frache before blossoming to apricot, roasted almonds and honey. The medium bodied palate combines expansive, honeyed flavors with a vibrant spine of acidity and a singular, chalky texture. It has complex flinty undertones and a long, nutty finish. 95 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
