TOR Chardonnay H.S. Reserve 2024

Available: Spring 2026

Tasting Notes from Porthos owner Hal Oates:
“This best barrel blend of 2024 H.S. Chardonnay is the most alluring and delightfully Fun To Drink vintage we’ve crafted to date — a distinguished white wine guaranteed to immediately captivate connoisseurs who appreciate luxurious, full-bodied styles. Tor, his winemaker Jeff, and I feel confident this edition carries a similarly commanding presence found in elite bottles from Marcassin or even Jadot’s Bâtard-Montrachet.

The bouquet reveals vibrant tropical fruit and a cashmere-smooth texture that glides effortlessly across the palate. A delectable blend of pineapple, Meyer lemon, and crème brûlée unfolds with hints of warm spice and macadamia on a long, graceful finish. Impeccably balanced and irresistibly delicious, this is the kind of Chardonnay that disappears quickly once opened (empty glass alert!). Enjoy now (decanting suggested before 2027) or savor through 2030+.” (11/2024)
