2022 Wayfarer Estate-Wayfarer Vineyard Chardonnay [D96][JD94][WA94][WS94]

Decanter, 96 Points 

"This is so intense and wild with Meyer lemon, Korean pear, green lemon, and lime. Piercing pineapple and focused acidity that gives incredible length and intensity. The density and texture with solid phenolics and so much flavor and vivid energy is really impressive along with the electric finish. Full body. Agile palate. Wente and Mount Eden clone. Drinkable but hold on to it!"

"A bright yellow/silver color, the 2022 Chardonnay The Estate is expressive in the glass with notes of wild flowers, pineapple rind, saline, delicate baking spice, and ripe pear. It’s medium to full-bodied and has a vibrant, ripe spine of acidity, with notes of candied lemon, as well as nicely balanced richness with a weightless feel. Mouthwatering, fresh, and long, it will have a wide drinking window over the next 6-8 years." 

Wine Advocate, 94 Points 

"The 2022 Chardonnay The Estate has a pretty perfume of grilled peaches, flaky pastry, clover honey, toast and matchstick. The palate balances concentrated, savory flavors with bright acidity, and it has a long, honey-nut finish." 

Wine Spectator, 94 Points 

"Offers an energetic mix of pomelo, lemon sherbet, pear and Honeycrisp apple flavors on a sleek, juicy frame. Pineapple, lime zest and orange blossom details add complexity and verve, with a touch of Himalayan sea salt on the finish."
