A beautiful Chardonnay, the 2019 Chardonnay One Sixteen reveals a medium gold hue as well as a crisp, vibrant nose of honeyed lemon and orchard fruits intermixed with toasted brioche, honeysuckle, white flowers, and a touch of toasted almonds. These all carry over to the palate, where the wine is medium-bodied, has bright yet integrated acidity, and a clean, incredibly classy, lengthy finish. Give bottles a year or three and enjoy over the following decade.

Made from a who's who of stellar vineyard sites, including Ritchie, Keefer Ranch and Bootlegger's Hill, this white is both rich in crème brûlée and baked pear as well as high-toned green apple and acidity. The oak is nuanced and integrated, contributing mouthfeel and subtle spice without distraction. - VIRGINIE BOONE
