2022 Bunker Hill Chardonnay

The 2022 Chardonnay Bunker Hill’s core of stone fruit is accented by touches of honey, lemon curd and citrus blossoms on the nose. The light-bodied palate is silky and refreshing with concentrated, softly honeyed flavors and a long, energetic finish. It will benefit from 2-3 years in the cellar.

Estate bottled, the 2022 Chardonnay Bunker Hill is the counterpart to the Chardonnay Estate. It pours a bright pale yellow with a tinge of green and has a lovely incense of delicate toast lifting from the glass, followed by notes of white flowers, fresh green pear, and pleasing reduction. This wine comes from a site where the grapes get thicker skins from the wind, leading to firmer structure, and on the palate, this wine is medium to full-bodied, with a pithy, chalky texture. Drink 2024-2034.

The 2022 Chardonnay Bunker Hill is dreamy, blending confectionary spices with chamomile and mint before giving way to freshly sliced nectarines and lime zest. This is supple and round with depths of ripe apple and pear, further intensified by brisk acidity as crunchy mineral tones slowly saturate. A saline tinge lingers along with sweet tannins as the mouth waters for more through the long and wickedly fresh finale.
