Tasting Notes
A youthful white-green and gold color with citrusy aromas of Meyer lemon and elegant hints of grapefruit and lime. The perfume is also rich with sweet baking spices, notes of verbena and chamomile tea, and a sweetness reminiscent of angel food cake or sugar cookies. Bright and juicy on the palate, with ample sweet fruit and a slight framing of oak spices. Lots of texture and a nice viscosity to pair with a skeletal structure of citrusy and succulent natural acidity. Overall, one of our finest efforts to date, with so much potential ahead of it.
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. - Erin Brooks
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
