2022 Pemberton Chardonnay

The 2022 Pemberton Chardonnay is composed and nutty, with white peach and apricot fuzz, cashews and green apple skins and layers of saffron and Indian spice. The acidity is the calling card of great Pemberton Chardonnay; the area is cool with good rainfall, and the best wines come across as both finely structured and intensely flavored. Restraint is the order of the day. The phenolics are firm through the finish, but this speaks more of future promise than it does any issues. This is a super, super wine. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
