Jeb Dunnuck : 97 Points
(4/1/2025) Just four miles from the ocean near Aptos, the 2023 Chardonnay Trout Gulch Vineyard is made from a supremely cold site first planted in 1980 that continues to be dry farmed. The Alfaro family purchased it in 2020 and replanted 4000 vines. This is crisp, light-bodied Chardonnay offers sizzling acidity that speaks to the place and vintage, with a linear salinity and quenching freshness. Drink now through 2030.
