Paul Hobbs Description
A delicate pale straw color in the glass, this wine opens with a bright pairing of fresh citrus peel and crisp Asian pear, evolving into juicy apple and tropical fruit aromas. Expressive gardenia wraps around these layers as they extend into a palate edged with hints of brioche and cream. A vein of savory minerality supports a clean, crisp, and beautifully integrated finish.
James Suckling: 94 Points
The fruit in this is very beautiful, with sliced apples, cream and hints of stone. Full-bodied with plenty of fruit and a creamy texture that shows tension and intensity. Just the right amount of oak to highlight this. Drink or hold.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2022 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley) is a delight. Tangerine peel, butter, ripe pear, apricot and white flowers open effortlessly. Medium in body and vibrant with terrific depth, the Russian River Chardonnay is a beautiful introduction to the range.
Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points
The nose of this wine gives lifted aromas of lemon balm, Bosc pear and tangerine. Fresh and acid-driven, the palate offers flavors of crème brûlée, spiced apple chutney and cinnamon in a well-balanced framework of toasty oak.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
Matured in 36% new oak, the 2022 Chardonnay opens with matchstick scents that give way to baked peaches, apples and honey. The medium-bodied palate offers generous, gently honeyed flavors and integrated, spicy new oak. It has a soft, supple texture balanced by lip-smacking acidity and a long, flavorful finish.
