Checkmate Capture Chardonnay 2022

A powerful and complex Chardonnay with aromas of lemon verbena, nectarine, honey and ocean spray. The palate shows ripe stone fruit and citrus alongside subtle sagebrush and pronounced mineral character, leading to a long, saline finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with lobster, scallops, grilled halibut, roast chicken, mushroom risotto, creamy seafood dishes, or aged cheeses.

95 Points - James Suckling

Creamy, broad and luxurious, layering pear-puree, lemon-curd and subtle vanilla-bean flavors on a medium body. Mild acidity brings lift and balance to the rather rich and concentrated fruit notes. Very long finish. Drink now or hold.
