2022 Carte Blanche 'UV Vineyard' Chardonnay Sonoma Coast
Delicate, yet complex aromas of Asian pear, blanched almond, fresh lemon curd, graham cracker, honey, and orange blossom. The palate is silky, seamless and fresh, with vibrant acidity lifting flavors of lemon bar, pear, and lily of the valley. This is a lovely, delicious wine, with aromatic depth and palate weight building with time in the glass. This is a wine to be enjoyed in the near and mid-term.

Coming from the Sonoma Coast, the 2022 Chardonnay UV Vineyard reveals a pure, elegant bouquet of stone fruits, orange blossoms, spice, and floral nuances. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has integrated acidity and a balanced, elegant texture. This 100% Chardonnay spent time in 50% new French oak and will drink nicely over the next 4-6 years.
