2019 Mail Road Mt. Carmel Chardonnay
"The 2019 Chardonnay Mt. Carmel Vineyard is translucent, elegant and nuanced with white pepper, mint, chalk and citrus notes. This is an especially airy, gracious wine for this site. Bright saline flavors punctuate the finish. (Drink between 2022-2029)." -Antonio Galloni, 94AG
Matt Dees of Hilt/Jonata fame takes advantage of Mt Carmel's soils (adjacent to Sea Smoke's Botella clay loam), to create wines marked by deep concentration, depth, textural complexity and bright acidity.
