The 2022 Chardonnay (Napa Valley) has a quite a bit of density and power-surprisingly so. Lemon confit, marzipan, herbs and white flowers are nicely delineated. Partially blocked malolactic fermentation keeps the flavors brisk. What stands out most is the wine's mid-palate richness. Bright saline notes play off lightly tropical overtones on the finish.

Bright citrus, orange blossom, white flowers, and a kiss of minerality all emerge from the 2022 Chardonnay from Pride, a medium-bodied, clean, classy Chardonnay that has sweet fruit, good balance, and outstanding length.
