This is the initial vintage of Dobbin Chardonnay and you can already put that in the Rockstar category. When you have Peter Gamble & Ann Sperling leading the way, you can expect grand results, and this very wine shows just that. At this stage of its curve, this Chardonnay has hit some tremendous heights, starting with pin-point precision and world class complexity. Stunning and expressive aromas of bright citrus, honeyed flowers, subtle toasty oak notes, vanilla and caramel define the aromatics. This small production wine has a super focused but dense mouthfeel, terrific balance, and bright, mouth-watering acidity that will help this wine outlast the 2020 vintage Chardonnays. On the palate, notes of Aurora Golden Apple and lemon curd slowly emerge, opening out to a wave of stone fruits and quince, with a beeswax sensation on the mid-palate, followed by allspice, toasted almonds and a salty, wet stone, chalky minerality on the finish. The medium-bodied but textural palate (read: very silky texture) delivers all the ingredients to make this wine a serious contender for the Top 10 Wines of the Year list. (Carl Boucher, April 20, 2024, re-tasted October, 2024). Only 190 cases made.
