Arnot-Roberts Santa Cruz Mountains Trout Gulch Chardonnay 2023
- In stock, ready to ship
This Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay comes from Arnot-Roberts, the pioneering winemaking duo leading the 'New California' movement. High in natural acidity thanks to the cool, high altitude climate of Trout Gulch this wine has strong minerality and a noticeable salinity on the palate.
93/100 - The 2023 Chardonnay Trout Gulch Vineyard is quite an exotic wine. The long growing season yielded an unusually exuberant Chardonnay with notable oiliness but fewer of the intensely saline notes that are often such a signature here. Apricot, chamomile, dried flowers, slate and white pepper give the Trout Gulch its effusive, complex personality. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
92/100 - The 2023 Chardonnay Trout Gulch Vineyard comes from vines planted in 1979 less than four miles from the Pacific Ocean. Grapes were picked on November 2, and the wine was matured for 10 months in used French oak. It has slowly opening aromas of white orchard fruit, iodine, saline and hazelnuts. The medium-bodied palate is crisp and ethereal with saline-laced flavors. It’s enlivened by bright acidity and has a long, refreshing finish. - Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate
On the palate, steely and vibrant with alluring flavours of citrus and orchard fruit. Palpable energy and tension drive a core of lemon confit, mint, and intense minerality. A hint of hazelnut on the finish rounds out this stunningly long Chardonnay.
