“… a barrel selection aged around 23 months in a single Damy puncheon. It is a touch youthfully closed, taking time to reveal floral perfume and yellow peaches with underlying exotic spices and herbs … explosive, concentrated flavors, silky, textural and fresh with a very long, uplifted, flinty finish. Only 50 cases were made.”

“IWR’S TOP WINE OF 2020 … a homage to 00 Wines founder Chris Hermann’s mother, Freya … This thrilling Chardonnay slowly unwinds to release a stunning array of aromas that emerge beautifully from this glass, led by ripe white peach, asian pear, lemon oil, toasted hazelnut, flint and crushed stones, which are impossible to resist. The palate is simply striking, beautifully balanced, precise and focused, with layers of delicious fresh orchard fruit flavors that are framed by gorgeous minerality resonating throughout. This is an utterly captivating bottle of Chardonnay that is nothing short of mesmerizing today, but should also continue to evolve beautifully over the course of the next decade.”

“Striking aromas of sliced nectarine and white peach with flinty and spicy elements. Mouthwatering. The palate is impressively rich and pithy with good extract, fresh acidity and a gently creamy thread of honey, as well as ripe peach and nectarine. Holds long and freshens to such exquisite purity of fruit at the finish. Drink or hold.”

“… aged for 23 months in a one-year-old French oak puncheon. It’s smooth as silk, a rich weave of apricot, melon and papaya fruit, with highlights of buttery pie crust and sweet spice. The nicely focused finish lingers for several minutes.”
