Paul Lato 2021 “It’s All Good” Chardonnay, Oliver’s Vineyard, Edna Valley

Vinous 94 Points (2020): “The 2020 Chardonnay Talley Oliver’s Vineyard It’s All Good is a powerful, dense wine. Orange confit, tropical fruit, spice, marzipan, and a kiss of French oak are front and center. This is an especially dense, tropical Chardonnay endowed with serious concentration, but it all works so well.”

Paul Lato Notes: “Growing in sandy clay loam in the Edna Valley, these 30-year-old vines produce Chardonnay of great balance and complexity.Opening with youthful aromas of white peach, river rock, and almond flowers on the nose. Its lively, caressing palate is a seamless balance of crisp Fuji apple and salted caramel. It is a wine of allurement, with a gentle silky texture, sustained by a powerful structure. Finishes with a diamond-like acidity with a hint of spice and hazelnut.”
