2022 Marine Layer "Marine Layer Estate Vineyard" Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

A medium straw/silver color, the 2022 Chardonnay Marine Layer Vineyard has a coastal feel, with a floral perfume of white flowers, salty earth, pineapple rind, and candied Meyer lemon. Medium-bodied, it has great intensity on the palate, with loads of bright freshness. This spectacular Chardonnay has an incredibly wide window for drinking now or over the next 10 years. This is one of the most enjoyable and eye-opening Chards I have tasted from this vintage. The oak never feels intrusive, it just frames the wine perfectly. Bravo. (AF)
