Veeder Estate Chardonnay 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e is a spectacular mountain Chardonnay and a bottle that should absolutely be on the radar of serious California white-wine collectors. From a tiny 15-acre estate high above the fog line, this 100% Chardonnay combines Wente, Montrachet and Robert Young clones to create remarkable depth, texture and precision. Bright citrus, lemon, sea spray and honeysuckle lead into layers of pressed flowers, beeswax, brioche and subtle mineral complexity. The palate is broad and beautifully structured, but energized by terrific acidity and a steely, focused finish. Aged 14 months in French oak, 70% new, and produced in just 345 cases, this is California Chardonnay with the richness of the finest Napa whites and the structure and restraint to reward time in the cellar. A rare and seriously compelling Mt. Veeder Chardonnay from Thomas Rivers Brown is one to buy before it disappears.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cspan\u003eThe 2022 Chardonnay is brilliant and has a kiss of Aubert-like richness paired with terrific nuance and elegance. Stone fruits, white flowers, blanched almonds, and toasted bread notes all define the aromatics, and its medium to full-bodied, has a beautiful purity, flawless balance, and a great finish. This is pure California gold and should have a solid decade of overall longevity, although I love it even today.\" Jeb Dunnuck 97\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maverick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50681709658298,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/7821\/4330\/files\/IMG_1807.jpg?v=1791403987","url":"https:\/\/www.albatrosswines.com\/products\/pulido-walker-estate-vineyard-chardonnay-mount-veeder-usa-2022","provider":"Albatross Wine Co ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
