The 2019 Chardonnay Olivet Lane has pure, pretty scents of golden apples and pears, saline and Meyer lemon, with undertones of baker's yeast, chamomile and beeswax. The medium-bodied palate is pure and energetic, balancing a rounded, plush texture and bright, refreshing acidity, and it has a long, fragrant finish. Lovely!

This is a lovely, whole-cluster pressed wine aged sur lie for nine months and aged in French oak, only 38% of it new. From the longtime vineyard source, it offers balanced acidity and a stone-fruit-led richness that delves into freshly cut pear and just a hint of nut and spice. Virginie Boone
