"The 2022 Chardonnay West Sonoma Coast sports a bright yellow/straw hue and is expressive on opening with notes of pear, white flowers, orange blossom, and fresh hazelnut. Medium to full-bodied, it reveals a nice linear feel, but it has a lovely, high-quality carriage of citrus oils (lime) and a long, great, mouthwatering finish. Drink this over the next 10 years."

"The 2022 Chardonnay (West Sonoma Coast) is a gorgeous appellation-level wine. Apricot, chamomile, dried flowers, mint, tangerine peel and a kiss of French oak all grace this tasty Chardonnay. Time in the glass releases some of the wine's textural intensity."

"The 2022 Chardonnay West Sonoma Coast takes some time to unfurl scents of hazelnut and almond, bread dough, beeswax and apricot. The medium-bodied palate is satiny and expansive, offering deeply concentrated, savory flavors balanced by a bright spine of acidity and a long, flavorful finish. It will benefit from another year or two in bottle or some time in a decanter."
