A beautiful chardonnay with sliced apples, pears and hints of pineapple and vanilla. It’s medium-bodied with lean and clean fruit and phenolics. Some toffee and pie crust. From Toyon and Hudson. Drink or hold.

AXR's 2021 Chardonnay is 100% barrel-fermented, sourced from the Toyon Farm in Carneros. Gently toasty on the nose, with hints of butter, peach and pineapple, this medium-bodied wine is focused, silky and long on the finish.
