Tasting Notes
The 2022 Barrel Select Chardonnay presents itself with a radiant, golden hue, catching light with brightness. Fresh scents of crisp green-fruited notes abound while subtle hints of tart components complement the bouquet with Golden Delicious apples and a zesty essence of lemons. The fragrant golden apple scents transition as the palate unfolds into a luscious yellow peach and apricot flavor, creating a delightful fruit-forward note. With dried orange zest, adding a tangy twist, the line of acidity throughout leads to a crisp and refreshing quality, supported by a floral lilac note that adds a touch of elegance. The presence of barrel ferment imparts brioche toast undertones evoking a subtle hint of nutty richness.
