The 2022 Chardonnay Fort Ross-Seaview reveals more flint, as well as notes of lime zest, green apples, toasty incense, and saline. Medium bodied, it retains good freshness and has a savory feel on the finish. It reveals a light herbal note, but it's going to drink well over the next 10 years.

93 Points James Suckling
Flavors of key limes and lemon curd burst from this well-balanced, tangy, acid-driven wine as it lights up the palate. Despite a full body, it shows freshness, vibrancy and concentration, with hints of oak spices, vanilla bean and custard that echo on the finish. Drink or hold.

Wine Notes
On the palate, the wine is elegant and textured, with flavors of ripe pear, yellow apple, and a subtle touch of crème brûlée. The vibrant acidity gives the wine a fresh and crisp backbone, while the creamy texture provides depth and complexity. The finish is long and mineral-driven, with a touch of salinity that reflects the coastal influence of the vineyard. This Chardonnay showcases the perfect harmony of fruit, oak, and acidity, making it both approachable and age-worthy.
