Seems like I’ve been writing about Ledson raising their game for several vintages now, which means I can probably stop and just call them what they’ve become – one of California’s top boutique producers. This Chardonnay is more evidence of that fact, with rich varietal flavors, great acid balance and a long, fully integrated finish where some baked apple comes forward. A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
