Guigal Condrieu 2021
This is a complex dry white made from Viognier grapes. Guigal's is always a first class example of Condrieu. Fruit from very steep vineyards is harvested at low yields and fermented partly in new oak barrels.
The Hilt, Estate Chardonnay 2018
The Hilt was founded in 2008 and is now owned by Stan Kroenke whose properties include Screaming Eagle and Bonneau du Martray. Run by winemaker Matt Dees, who actually turned down the top job at Screaming Eagle, it is a project he has overseen for many years and the wines just keep getting better and better. Situated in the Santa Rita Hills, the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean keeps acidity in check and is the perfect climate for growing both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, which ripen to near perfect. When in the hands of Dees, the resulting wine is truly magnificent.
