Quite a complex nose. The opposite of opulent. Determinedly 'not California'? Just slightly pinched on the end, but fun to drink. (JR)

The 2022 Chardonnay Avni boasts a lovely, generous bouquet, with notes of white peach, pithy lemon, white flowers, and wet stone. Medium to full-bodied, it has a rounded feel, with a good deal of elegance and approachability, and a lovely, clean finish. A fantastic entry to the range, this highly consistent wine is outstanding for restaurant programs and offers a wide drinking window over the next 5-6 years.
The 2022 Chardonnay Avni is sweetly floral with a delicate blend of ripe yellow apples, honeyed flowers and mint. Soothingly round and mineral in style, it excels with a core of juicy acidity that enlivens its tart orchard fruits. A tactile tinge of salinity lingers along with hints of sour melon through the youthfully tense finale.
