The Optik Chardonnay from Bien Nacido Vineyard features significant toast, spiced apple chutney, vanilla flan, and flinty crushed stone minerality on the palate. Texturally expressive, it offers a medium body with generous weight and depth. A hint of phenolic grip lingers on the finish, where fresh citrus cuts through, creating a clean, linear tension that extends well over a minute. This is a more hedonistic expression, in alignment with winemaker Joey Tensley's signature style, showcasing rich secondary notes from oak and ripe orchard fruit.
