The 2020 Chardonnay Rachael's Vineyard has a delicate perfume of green pears, honeysuckle, sliced almonds, flint and toasted meringue. The medium-bodied palate has a satiny texture and tangy, citrusy focus at this youthful stage, finishing long and textural. It may flesh out with another year or two in bottle.

The 2020 Chardonnay Rachael's Vineyard is very nicely done. It has just enough mid-palate depth and liancy to fill out its mid -weight frame. Lemon confit, pear, lime, white flowers and sage all run through this classy, understated Chardonnay from Tom Rochioli.

"2020 was an early season, so we picked it all before September 1, and the fires started on August 17. We did lay off on the percentage of new wood," he continued, explaining that lab numbers are not necessarily representative of flavor. "I tested my 2019s with the 2020s, and they showed higher smoke numbers than the 2020s, simply from the char of the barrel. The smoke numbers we saw were irrelevant because there's just much more to smoke taint than that."
