"The 2022 Chardonnay Estate is such an elegant wine. Hints of tangerine peel, spice, mint, lemon confit and a touch of French oak all grace this vibrant, mid-weight Chardonnay from Peay. There's marvelous, tension and focus. It's all class and pedigree here."

"The 2022 Chardonnay Estate has intense aromas of yellow apple, pastry, dried hay and almonds. The light-bodied palate begins with shimmery acidity and rocky tones before fleshing out to creamier, biscuity notes that accent its concentrated fruit, and it has a powerful, expansive finish that calls you back to the glass. This is very easy to drink!"

"Aromas of fresh Gala apple, chalk and apple blossom swirl on the nose of this lively and beautifully balanced Chardonnay. The palate shows loads of energy and complexity, with flavors of fresh pineapple, lemon pith, ginger and white flowers coming in waves. This is a brilliant wine for oysters or other shellfish courses. — Tom Capo"
