Achieves excellent balance between a tangy feel and generous flavors. Quite toasty, flinty and nervy in aromas before a ripe, buttery palate delivers good richness and length. Minerals and sea salt on the nose, then bright pineapple, baked apple, butter and lemon zest on the palate.

The 2022 Chardonnay Katherine's Vineyard Signature Collection is a pretty potent, tightly wound wine, perhaps because of its relatively recent bottling. Crushed rocks, white pepper, slate, citrus peel and strong mineral accents race out of the glass. About 60% of the malolactic fermentation was blocked, which results in a very steely, reticent Chardonnay that needs time to be at its best.

Aromas of honey drizzled on ripe honeydew melon invite the nose into this comfortingly classic style of California Chardonnay. Toasted hazelnut and apple pie flavors on the palate are balanced by brisk lemon, cinnamon and star anise spices.

The 2022 Chardonnay Katherine's Vineyard is a very pretty, gracious wine. Light tropical accents, tangerine peel, white pepper and chamomile all grace this airy, lifted Chardonnay. In 2022, winemaker Jill Russell opted for more lots aged in steel and less oak to match the lighter style of the year.
