The 2017 Chardonnay Genevieve’s Block Devoto Vineyard is an attractive if somewhat idiosyncratic wine. A strong element of reduction adds freshness, energy and complexity. White flowers, lemon confit and crushed rocks abound, and I very much like the wine’s vibrancy. I would open the 2017 well in advance to allow the reductive notes to blow off. Readers who don’t enjoy reduction in Chardonnay will find more pleasure in other wines in this article. — Antonio Galloni
