The 2020 Chardonnay Golden Slope opens with pleasing reductive tones of graphite and roasted almonds, taking some time to reveal youthful tones of crème fraîche, crème brûlée and green herbs. The palate is creamy yet tangy, with a touch of texture that carries the long finish. It will benefit from another year or two in bottle to unwind.
Even better, the 2020 Chardonnay Golden Slope offers utterly classic Chardonnay notes of ripe orchard fruits, classy wood, brioche, and honeysuckle. The balance is spot on, it's medium-bodied, has integrated acidity, and a great finish. It brings a touch more mid-palate depth and richness compared to the White Hill release and should keep for a decade, although there's no need to delay gratification. This was brought up in mostly neutral French oak, with just 10% in new barrels.
