Floral notes leap out of the glass of the 100% Estate-grown Chardonnay 2022, with notes of jasmine, gardenia and lemon blossom. The contribution of low-yielding CH548 blocks seem to impress their character on the late vintage. The palate is round and fresh, entering with green apple and creamy lemon, which develop into chamomile and sea salt, with a round-textured, long finish of floral and saline notes. The Estate Chardonnay will be an excellent accompaniment to rich and subtle dishes such as halibut with chanterelle sauce, plank smoked copper river xalmon with dill mayonnaise, Lobster Newberg, Quenelles de Brochet avec sauce a l’Armoricain, black cod with shellfish sauce. It is equally delightful with more casual dining options featuring béchamel sauces or cheese-rich dishes, such as a fondue, pasticcio or even lasagna.

The medium yellow/straw-colored 2022 Chardonnay Estate has a forward feel in the glass, with a great nose offering notes of bright flinty reduction, green apples, lime zest, and white flowers. Medium-bodied and long on the palate, it has persistent drive, with a pure savory feel and a graceful saline finish with a note of lime pith. It will drink well over the next 10 years.

Lingua Franca has another Chardonnay hit on their hands. The wine's aromas are a simple meal of grilled lemons rubbed with sage and butter. A tiny mineral note flutters in the background. Vigorous acidity lights up flavors ranging from Golden Delicious apples and brown butter to roasted filberts and wet rocks.

Crushed stones and flint combine with freshly sliced pear, ginger and hints of sweet mint as the 2022 Chardonnay Estate blossoms in the glass. It's lifted and energetic, with an air of inner florals resonating over a core of ripe orchard fruits. Incredibly juicy yet also loaded with zesty tension, the 2022 finishes long and staining, nearly salty in character yet still remarkably fresh. Beautiful.
