There is no 2020 Hope's Cuvée (only an Estate Chardonnay was bottled), but the 2021 Chardonnay Hope’s Cuvée is a refined, elegant example of the winery's top white wine. From five acres on the southern side of the drive leading up to the winery, it's barrel fermented in about 50% new French oak, with two-fifths of the total made in 500-liter puncheons. Delicate nuances of pencil shavings and vanilla accent white peach and ripe melon notes on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is nicely coiled and focused, finishing long and smooth.
