WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The 2022 Estate Chardonnay is fragrant with aromas of ginger, Meyer lemon, and subtle marzipan, complemented by a hint of pie crust, the wine offers vibrant citrus tones on the palate, mingling with crisp Granny Smith apple, peach, apricot, honeydew melon, and fresh pear. Embracing its fruit-forward nature, this Chardonnay boasts a well-rounded character and finishes with a refreshing, evocative hint of cool ocean breeze.
TASTING NOTES:
While full of ripe apple, brown butter and vanilla bean flavors, this well-balanced, full-bodied wine also offers lively acidity and enticing mineral notes. Baked apples and nutmeg, then chalk and flint accents build on the palate and linger in the finish. Drink or hold.
- James Suckling, 93 pts.
Fresh at the core, showing Meyer lemon, ripe melon, mango and peach flavors. Accents of candied ginger, toasted almond and dried lemon basil add complexity, with a juicy and spicy finish.
