2021 Ferox “Reserve II” Chardonnay🔥94+pts lamb sirloin of all the 35 SyrahsBright, flinty, and laser focused, this is Ferox at their best. On the nose: lemon curd, almond cookie, jasmine, and a touch of struck flint. The palate is precise and tense, with orchard fruit, citrus, and just enough oak to frame the fruit without ever weighing it down. The finish is long and flinty, the kind that keeps you reaching for another sip. Just opening up now, with a prime window over the next 4 years and the structure to age gracefully
