Tasting notes
Pouring a medium straw color, the 2022 Chardonnay H. Klopp Vineyard is ripe with notes of honeyed citrus, lemon curd, green apple, and perhaps white peach. The palate is full-bodied, but it has bright acidity, with a mouthwatering salinity, and retains a more linear focus and tension. It’s mouthwatering, long, and well-detailed. Drink over the coming 8-10 years. The 2022s from Ross Cobb are some of the best wines from the vintage, especially those that are sourced from his estate vineyard holdings. The reds are tension-packed and structured, with textures reminiscent of elegantly styled Nebbiolo, and I highly encourage readers to check them out.

The 2022 Chardonnay H. Klopp Vineyard is soft and open-knit. Lemon confit, tangerine peel, chamomile and mint are all layered in the glass. The 2022 is creamy and expressive in the understated style that is such a signature of Ross Cobb's wines.
The 2022 Chardonnay H. Klopp Vineyard unfurls slowly in the glass to reveal baked peaches, jasmine, bread dough, allspice and flint aromas. The light-bodied palate pairs concentrated, floral flavors with a luxuriously silky texture. It’s balanced by vibrant acidity and has a very long, gently honeyed finish. It’s dynamic, offering something new with each return to the glass, and will benefit from 3-5 years in the cellar. 275 cases were made.
