Description
Bright, straw-colored with golden highlights and moderate tearing in the glass. Highly aromatic and lively on the nose with bright citrus notes, white flower, nuances of ripe pear, and hints of flint. On the entry, the wine shows a rounded texture and balanced freshness. Flavors of spice baked apple, Meyer lemon, ripe Bosc pear, and a touch of flinty minerality add layers of complexity. The wine’s lingering finish leaves a trail of nuanced citrus, orchard fruit, and vanilla spice that lingers on the palate. The 2022 JUSTIN Chardonnay pairs nicely with seared sea bass and lemon beurre blanc for a perfect fusion of vibrant citrus notes and rich seafood. Alternatively, pair it with creamy butternut squash risotto and a hint of sage for a delightful balance of textures and nuanced aromas.

Spicy cinnamon and butterscotch aromas waft from the swirling glass of this decadent wine. The palate is saturated with flavors of caramel crème, baked apple pie and toasted hazelnuts. It’s a powerful and opulent style that will charm many California Chardonnay fans.

Lush and spicy up front, with plush and juicy grilled lemon, pear and Fuji apple flavors that mingle with a salted, preserved lemon note and a touch of fresh tangerine and marmalade on the finish, where the spicy note comes in again. Drink now. 8,000 cases made.
