2023 Implicit Cellars Avidity Chardonnay

Sourced from Calesa Vineyard, a Petaluma Gap site perched on a high plateau with northwest-facing slopes and soils flecked with gravel and quartz. This is quite pretty - a flinty, mineral-driven wine interwoven with citris peel, and salinity, elegant cedarwood spice, and a cool acid crunch. Ripe yellow apple and pear join crushed Marcona almonds, a hint of vanilla, and good phenolic grip. Clone 76 - fragrant and laser focused. Just gorgeous.
