The 2022 Reserve Chardonnay is involved and inchoate at this stage in its life. It is taut, tense and fine but set against a backdrop of concentration and density of stone fruit flavors. 2022 was a hot year, and the Chardonnay wines I have seen from barrel so far (over 100) show a softness of acidity and bold fruit drive that I have seen similarly in the Chardonnays from the 2014 vintage. Crushed nuts and yellow fruit dominate this wine and show an abundance of fruit. It is almost buxom, certainly rich, with loads of flavor. Acid pert as always. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
