I tasted these two beauties recently at Divine - thanks!
2023 Clima Prio Chardonnay, Ojai
A pure, fresh nose with notes of lemon peel, almonds, warm grass and a candy (vita sockerbitar) from my childhood. Very fine.
The taste is cool and nicely structured with a very fine acidity and notes of birch leaves, dry caramel and lemon cream.

2019 Durell Vineyard Chardonnay, Three Sticks
The -91 Durell is a stunner. The nose is high and focused with notes of spices, candied limes, matchbox and yellow flowers. Very fine.
The taste is tight and refined with a very fine warmth, a cleansing acidity, a whiff of oak and a long, long finish. 5+ years.
