2022 Merryvale Chardonnay, Carneros, USA (750ml) Colchagua and a real head scratcherWINEMAKER'S NOTES: Aromas of lemon curd, danjou pear, and golden delicious apple burst from the glass. A brilliant example of what Sonoma Coast fruit can offer, the wine is simultaneouslylayered and complex while alive with freshness and vibrancy. Barrel fermentation in30% new and 70% neutral French oak provides a medium richness while the naturalacidity shines through. Long, lingering, and an excellent companion with food. Blend: 100% Chardonnay
