2023 Peter Michael 'Cuvee Indigene' Chardonnay Knights Valley

The 2023 'Cuvée Indigène' leaps from the glass with an enticing mélange of white rose, jasmine, and yellow spring flowers with orange zest and vanilla bean accents. The rich, explosive entry and creamy mouthfeel lead to an intense, focused mid-palate with juicy acidity and exceptional drive. The substantial body and gras are defined by a chiseled, precise structure that continues through the lengthy, lingering finish. This is a classic vintage of 'Cuvée Indigène' to be enjoyed in its youth but will reward several years of careful cellaring.
