The 2021 Chardonnay Trenton Roadhouse pours a youthful golden hue and takes on a dramatically different profile in its notes of pineapple, fresh yellow flowers, and golden apple. Full-bodied, it has a rounded feel and great salinity, ripe salted pineapple, orange oil, and, and toasted spices. It's long and round on the finish, which gives a hint of smoky incense. Drink this over the next 8-10 years.

The 2021 Chardonnay Trenton Roadhouse is one of the more potent wines in this range. Fruit is pushed into the background in a Chardonnay that offers tons of mineral and savory intensity. Dried herbs, crushed flowers, rocks and chamomile lend nuance throughout. The Trenton Roadhouse is not an obvious wine, but it is still super-impressive. Here, too, the density of the vintage is very much apparent.

Rich and succulent, with notes of toasted, salted hazelnut and a touch of toffee adding complexity to the core of nectarine, apricot and poached pear flavors on an elegant frame, brightened up by fresh acidity and pretty notes of lemon blossoms. Drink now. 900 cases made.
