2023 Nid Tisse Bacigalupi Vineyard Chardonnay, Russian River Valley 375 praised for its balanced structureMinerals and subtle fruit elements combine on a finely detailed texture in this distinctive and age worthy wine made by Marie Laure Ammons. Enticing flint, lemon zest and wet stone aromas are followed by layered, elegant and complex flavors of lanolin, crisp apples, butter. chalk and lemon curd on a medium body, braced by vivid acidity. Aged in neutral barrels and a clay egg. Drinkable now, but best from 2028. 98 POINTS JAMES SUCKLING
