Ernest Estate Freestone Valley Vineyard Chardonnay 2021

This estate bottling is fantastic, offering sliced lemon, cooked apple and apricot with energized acidity. Medium to full body with an intense and full finish. Lots of extract at the end. Exciting chardonnay. Drink or hold [through 2030+]. Score – 96. (jamessuckling.com, Oct. 5, 2022)
