The 2024 SCM Chard is more classic than the 2023, a bit less Jura-like. Some vintages lend themselves to a fresher style either because the acid isn't there to handle the oxidation or the fruit just doesn't go that direction. This is a vintage that has the structure and acid for the oxidation, but it just didn't head there. 

Per usual, a blend of Woodruff in Corralitos with vines going back to the 1970s and Amaya Ridge in the hills above Soquel which we planted in 2011. Each of the two lots was whole-cluster pressed and combined in a concrete egg for fermentation, left there for a year on the lees, and then racked to 228L Burgundy barrels and a 14 HL foudre for another 9 months with very minimal topping.

Generally, this Chardonnay ages well and I do not see any reason why this vintage won't follow suit.
