2023 Blue Farm Chardonnay Laceroni, Russian River Valley
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 97 Points
Bright, well-defined, graceful and complex from the first moment the cork is pulled, this beauty showcases forthcoming aromas of fresh crunchy apple, goldenberry, lemon curd and hazelnut nougat, along with gradually emerging suggestions of minerality and nutmeg. It is sleek, generous and supple in the mouth, although still quite youthful, and it shows a penetrating streak of all the fruit, oak and mineral notes promised by the nose while leading to a notably piquant, lingering finish. Captivating now, it is certain to be even better in 18 to 36 months. 213 cases produced..
