Madson Misty Gulch Chardonnay opens with a gritty, wet-stone mineral character, showing notes of saline lemon water, lemon peel and sea spray, underpinned by an oceanic, rocky freshness. Linear and focused in expression, the cool coastal climate lends clarity and tension, carrying through to a long, clean finish that pairs well with richer dishes. Producer Cole Thomas is one to watch, as shown by a steady evolution of continuity since Madson’s spring 2018 inception.
