Description

High in the cool hills of Gladysdale, Applejack has long been celebrated for Pinot Noir, yet its potential for Chardonnay is now impossible to ignore—especially in warmer years like 2024 that brought Chardonnay of exceptional clarity, energy, and precision. Always scarce, Applejack Chardonnay is becoming rarer still, and this release may be its most refined yet.

Reserved, powerful, super complex nose, smoky, spicy, citrus oils and juice, into stone fruit, into an earthen aspect. This is for the cellar and this is super. Aftertaste brings grapefruit and apple skins, texture, mineral, stones. Outstanding Applejack Chardonnay. Intense and pure but with layers of character. Reserved power. One of the most characterful Applejack chardonnays I’ve tasted. No new oak. It’s not exaggerated or in your face but this just has all the extras. 97 Points - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
