2021 MFN Blanc
Tasting Notes
The 2021 MFN Blanc Chardonnay bursts from the glass with aromas of Meyer lemon, yellow apple, Asian pear, and just a hint of pineapple. Underneath the fruit lies complex base notes of flint, vanilla, nutmeg, and cardamom. Surrounding all these aromas is an open sensation of freshness, like a wave crashing upon the shore. That saline component is mirrored on the palate, complemented by juicy, mouthwatering acidity and a long mineral finish. Rounding out the palate are creme fraiche and toffee flavors, offering balance and the desire for just one more sip. This wine is a perfect white to be enjoyed year-round.

The 2021 MFN Blanc Chardonnay is very ripe in style with scents of banana chip, apple pie, jasmine, allspice and brown sugar. The full-bodied palate is packed with ripe, spicy fruits and plenty of refreshing acidity, and it finishes long with a satiny, mouth-coating texture. It's an old-school style reminiscent of Napa that fans of ripe, oaked Chardonnays will enjoy.

Fennel, lemon and mineral aromas follow through to [sic] bone-dry palate, with medium body and creamy, fine lees. Beautifully poised and delicious. Drink now.

The 2021 Blanc, a varietal Chardonnay, is very pretty, with a burst of crushed stone giving way to young peach, raw almonds and ginger. This is silky-smooth and round, with ripe orchard fruits and cooling acids to balance. The 2021 finishes clean and with medium length, leaving a slight mineral tinge to linger.

Plump and supple in style, with poached pear, candied ginger peel, ripe peach and fresh citrus zest notes that mingle with spices, toast and a hint of buttery pastry on the finish. Shows a fresh thread of acidity that weaves in and out, as does a floral note of orange blossoms. Drink now.
