The 2022 Chardonnay Pearlstad Vineyard is full of zesty tension, mixing stone dust and sage with crushed green apples and minty herbs. This blends round and supple textures with juicy acidity and mineral-tinged orchard fruits, taking on a salty crunchiness toward the close. It leaves the palate completely cleansed through the finish as an herbal whiff and a twang of sour lime pucker the cheeks.
93 points Wine Advocate
Matured for 17 months, the 2022 Chardonnay Pearlstad Vineyard is scented of white orchard fruit, lemon pith, hazelnut, toast and candle smoke. The medium-bodied palate has a satiny texture and soft, honeyed flavors. Vibrant acidity adds tension, and it has a long, elegant finish.

Our Tasting Note: Lemon yellow, straw, some green flecks of color. A nose of fresh citrus, iris floral, saline and chipped chalky stones. On the palate we have a med body, med/med+ acids, a med+ palate intensity and finish with the citrus, saline, and florals. Only 4% new oak, 65% French oak and 35% American oak. The American oak is Oregon-based from the woods of Martin-Woods and very tight grained, superb!
