Aromatic and lively on the nose, the Unoaked Chardonnay represents Chardonnay in its purest form. Notes of pear, quince, and jasmine flowers jump from the glass. With a little aeration in the glass, hints of yellow apple and star fruit are discernible. Due to the extended aging on the lees and periodic stirring, the palate is rich and layered. The hint of jasmine flowers on the finish adds a complex and spicy quality that offers a wonderful closure to the palate. Fresh and vivacious, the wine offers many food pairing options from light appetizers to richer shellfish dishes.

Williams Selyem 2022 Unoaked Chardonnay (Russian River Valley).
This wine is a breath of fresh air. Lively citrus aromas pair with
juicy pineapple, chalky minerality and jasmine on the nose, while
the palate gives fresh nectarine and lemon-lime acidity through
the exceptionally long finish. Drink this with oysters on a summer
afternoon. —T.R.C.
