The 2019 Chardonnay Sigrid is especially lovely this vintage offering that often-unattainable combination of plush ripe fruits and shimmery acidity. Its aromatic nuances blossom slowly?white peach Greek yogurt and pie spices emerging over time?and the medium-bodied palate has a persistent textural presence that draws out the finish. You could drink a bottle now for its irresistible youthful fruit and tanginess or age it in the cellar over the next decade.
A bright vivid chardonnay with aromas of nectarines dried pineapples lemon zest toast and smoked almonds. It?s medium-to full-bodied with intense layers of spiced fruit. Excellent concentration and energy. Long focused and precise. Drink or hold.
w&sThe 2019 Sigrid like its predecessors is shifty peripatetic constantly evolving a wine to taste over the course of several days and marvel at its chameleonic shades. This is smoky and flinty when first poured though you can already get a sense of its formidable energy and structure. After a day?s air the lees play a more central role entwined around juicy pear and tart lemon flavors though these too lengthen with days open. The effect is layered and fine mouth filling but not heavy with a seductively broad blanketing minerality. A tour de force. ?P.J.C.
Sigrid is the barrel select reserve bottling made from a mix of several different vineyard sources. It's a juicy full-bodied wine with lush tree fruits and beautifully proportioned acidity. Accents of lemony herbs add further detail and as it winds down through a long finish the barrel toast is set against a piercing minerality. This lovely wine is drinking beautifully already but could be cellared another half decade. Paul Gregutt
