Antica Block A26 Vineyard Chardonnay 2020

Sliced apples, spiced pears, lemon zest, smoked almonds and flint on the nose. Salted butter, too. Full-bodied and buttery with bright acidity. Excellent focus with a long, flavorful and creamy finish. Subtle toasty notes come out at the end. Drink or hold. Score – 95. (jamessuckling.com, Nov. 4, 2021)
