Tasting notes
A bright yellow/silver hue, the 2022 Chardonnay One-Sixteen is a blend from across vineyards of the Russian River Valley and offers nicely detailed ripe aromas of lemon curd, beeswax, fresh flowers, and poached apples. The palate is supple and full-bodied, with good freshness of acidity that lifts its more sweetly noted fruit, and it has a clean, refreshing feel on the finish. It’s a lovely appellation wine to drink over the next 4-6 years.

Expressive aromas of preserved lemons, lime zest, flint and river stones. The palate is medium-bodied with bright acidity and a creamy texture, giving notes of orchard fruit, grapefruit, yellow apples and pastry. A good balance of power and finesse. Drink or hold.
