Calera Central Coast Chardonnay 2022 750ml

Both energetic and enticing, this impeccably balanced Chardonnay shows its cool-climate coastal roots with aromas of Meyer lemon, white peach, and fragrant honeysuckle. On the palate, notions of tropical pineapple mingle with zesty citrus flavors, with bright underlying acidity adding poise and energy to a long, refreshing finish.

93 Points -

A vivid, well-balanced and mineral-infused wine that punches above its weight. Flinty, stony, earthy aromas, then generous lemon curd, green apple and Bosc pear flavors lifted by lively acidity at 6.3 grams per liter.

The 2022 Chardonnay Central Coast comes from a blend of Edna Valley, San Benito and Monterey sites. It's a rich, forward white with lots of richness but also a bracing structure. Toasted hazelnut, apricot, lemon zest, petrol and slate build in the glass, pressing onward through the voluptuous, mouth-coating finish.
