2023 | Arnot-Roberts Trout Gulch Chardonnay | California Bramaterra 39% cabernet franc and 19%The 2023 Chardonnay Trout Gulch Vineyard is quite an exotic wine. The long growing season yielded an unusually exuberant Chardonnay with notable oiliness but fewer of the intensely saline notes that are often such a signature here. Apricot, chamomile, dried flowers, slate and white pepper give the Trout Gulch its effusive, complex personality. 93 Pts Vinous
