Grapes for the 2022 Chardonnay Estate Vineyard were harvested well before the Labor Day heat wave on August 25. It's soft and delicate on the nose at this early stage, giving up wafts of lemon peel, acacia, matchstick and wet stone. The palate is silky and refreshing, though it boasts deeply concentrated flavors. It becomes more detailed and perfumed as it spends time in the glass, and a pleasing touch of phenolic grip drives a long finish. It will benefit from bottle time. 750 cases were made.

The 2022 Chardonnay DuMOL Estate Vineyard is a heady, extroverted wine. Orchard fruit, tangerine peel, spice, mint, baked apple tart and strong floral overtones soar from the glass. This mid-weight, dynamic Chardonnay is long on energy and complexity. Aeration brings out lovely textural resonance. Antonio Galloni, Vinous
