"The 2022 Chardonnay Estero takes time to shake off initial tones of struck match to reveal scents of lemon, lime leaves, crème fraîche and spice. The light-bodied palate offers surprisingly concentrated layers of ripe, lemony fruit. It balances an expansive, creamy texture with tangy acidity and has a long, flinty finish. It will benefit from 2-3+ years in the cellar."
