Another great edition of this wine, the 2023 ‘Reserve’ Chardonnay was made by Jackson Holstein, Owner & Winemaker at Granville Wine Co. Stored in small portion of new French oak for nine months, this comes from the Hollis and Ladd Hill Vineyards. Beautifully textured, with a silky mouthfeel, this offers dense melon and citrus fruit flavors that combine with toasted hazelnut nuances. Medium to full-bodied, this is a downright steal at 48 dollars USD. Enjoy over the next eight to ten years.
