2022 Olivet Lane Vineyard Chardonnay

Hints of yellow apple and pear are evident at first nosing. With aeration, notes of fresh herbs and tangerine peel emerge to round out the aromatics. Weighty on the entry, the wine expands on the palate with a great structure of Meyer lemon skin and flavors of yellow pear and apple. The acidity is seamlessly integrated into the texture giving way to a round and rich mouthfeel.

Reviews

94 / Wine Enthusiast

Probably the most luscious, pillowy, creamy chardonnay on the winery’s roster. Offering aromas of star jasmine, melted butter and lemon creme, then ultra-opulent baked apple, vanilla bean, custard and creme brulee flavors. Made from 18 different clones planted on the same property that surrounds the winery. The viscosity and length in the finish are especially remarkable. Drink or hold. – Tom Capo
