Cobb H. Klopp Vineyard Chardonnay 2021 (750ML)

97 Points, Erin Brooks, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2021 Chardonnay H. Klopp Vineyard, from vines planted in classic Goldridge soils, is bursting with alluring, layered aromas: quince paste, honey and white peach are complemented by accents of roasted almonds and graham cracker, and the palate matches that intensity with its highly concentrated, honeyed flavors. All that flavor is supported by a spine of vibrant acidity, and a touch of textural grip drives a very long finish. This is so delicious! 300 cases were made." 12/23

97 Points, Clive Pursehouse, Decanter: "Bright florals, petrichor and minerality, are all over the aromas of the H Klopp Chardonnay. Layered aromas of grilled lemon peel and seaspray, House Klopp grows Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the foggy lower Sebastopol Hills. Ross started working with them about 15 years ago and reasoned with them to plant to Chardonnay; the Klopp vineyard is only used for Chardonnay for the Cobb portfolio—a combination of clones: Old Wente, Mt Eden, Clone 4 and Robert Young. The palate gives a lively, mineral freshness and continues to leap forward with sea spray saline, oyster shells and loads of lemon cream. (Drink between 2024-2037)" 01/24
