Walt Chardonnay ‘22

From the Goldridge soils of Sonoma Coast's Gap's Crown Vineyard, this Chardonnay displays a luminous green-gold hue. The nose enchants with delicate aromas of yellow peach, toasted almond, and struck flint with subtle oak spice. The palate delivers Burgundian complexity - flavors of lemon curd, brioche, and wet stone unfold with vibrant acidity (6.9 g/L TA) that earned 94-96 point accolades. Fermented with native yeasts and aged 16 months in French oak (40% new), this 14.2% alcohol wine finishes with a stony persistence. Pair with lobster thermidor or roasted poultry - the 2021 vintage shows Sonoma Coast's potential for world-class Chardonnay.
