Tate Wines Tate Wine - Iron Rooster Vineyard - Chardonnay Napa 2024

There is a beautiful light gold hue to the 2024 Iron Rooster Chardonnay. Bright bosc pear and honeycomb jump out of the glass followed by jasmine and quince. It has very fresh and lifted aromatics. Although lighter in color for a Chardonnay there is some nice viscosity to the wine. The palate echoes the nose; particularly with the jasmine spice and stone fruit. There is a beautiful crispness to the finish due to the lighter amount of malolactic fermentation. This is lively wine in its youth but will develop wonderfully over the next 8-9 years (2033-2034).
