2022 Artesa Los Carneros Napa Valley Chardonnay
Winery Notes- Artesa's Estate Vineyard Chardonnay from Los Carneros, Napa Valley, is an elegantly restrained wine with Meyer lemon and white blossom aromas, a hint of lemongrass, and a silky, balanced oak touch. It ends with crisp acidity and notes of Honeycrisp apple, stone fruit, and vanilla. It's enjoyable now but will develop finesse and complexity until 2030.$19.9012 -
2022 Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Chardonnay
Winery Notes- There’s tremendous purity on the nose of this wine. At the same time, it’s also quite intense. Peach, apricot and kiwi drive an abundance of ripeness, which cascades into fresh cut flowers, orange blossom and cantaloupe. The citrus really comes to life here as mandarin, Meyer lemon and finally lemon verbena. While green apple, which is typically quite pronounced in Montelena wines, is somewhat overshadowed by the opulence of other flavors, I would expect it to become more prominent over time. Moreover, the texture is still angular and somewhat tight, which isn’t surprising given the wine’s youth. However, there’s certainly plenty to look forward to with notes of graham cracker, cinnamon and toast lingering beneath the surface. The finish initially leans into d’Anjou pear with some additional baking spice. It slowly transitions back to apple but more as cider than fresh cut. The citrus also persists as lemon zest and there’s a touch of peppery ginger as punctuation. While still predominantly linear, the finish should develop in breadth and gravity in coming years.$64.905 -
2023 Bezel (By Cakebread) San Luis Obispo Coast Chardonnay
Winery Notes- The fruit for this wine is sourced from coastal, cool-climate San Luis Obispo (SLO) Coast. This Chardonnay benefits from a long growing season which yields a wine with bright citrus and floral notes in a light refreshing style. Playful. Sassy. Full of life. Our fresh-faced San Luis Obispo Coast Chardonnay is a character you can’t wait to meet. Uplifting flavors of lemon zest and Granny Smith apple shine bright, with juicy pear and the warm hug of vanilla spice.$19.9013
