2022 Winmark Single Vineyard Reserve Chardonnay 12 Pack

95 POINTS

Toni Paterson MW - Halliday Wine Companion

Gorgeous, sweet stone-fruit enhanced with lemon-butter tones and citrusy acidity. Although the wine has a sweet-fruited entry, it finishes with pleasing savouriness. A beautiful aqueous clarity on the finish, making it refreshing and cleansing. It is a thoroughly modern chardonnay, well made with impeccable balance.

I didn’t have any info on which exact vineyard this wine originated from, but after the first several sniffs, that info became less important anyway as I focused on its delightfulness. Attractive aromas of white flowers predominated, with touches of apricot and peach, with creaminess and toastiness from the oak and some nuttiness from bottle age. The palate is alive with flavour and acid, and a salty core that I always love. Another Winmark wine that will reward extended cellaring, but why wait?

Look closely and you’ll see Poole’s rock on the label. Lots of baking spices here, sweet oak and toast, but it fits well with the fruit, it’s a giving style, a step up from the Expressions bottling. Fleshy stone fruit, ruby grapefruit, weight and chewiness. It could use a few more years for complete smoothness but it’s a nice drink right now too.
