2022 "Kokoro" Chardonnay

California Reserve, 96 points

"This eclectic selection of four exceptional barrels from four distinct vineyards and AVAs culminates in another truly unique wine. The 2022 ‘Kokoro’ Chardonnay unveils delicate aromas of butterscotch, hazelnut, jasmine, and white flowers. The palate, medium to full-bodied and sumptuous with a silky mouthfeel, brims with vibrant energy, offering citrus notes of lemon zest, stone fruit, and Golden Delicious apples. The extended finish brings toasted nuances of brioche and lemon curd. Another exquisite gem in the ‘Kokoro’ collection!" - Paul Lato

"The 2022 Chardonnay Kokoro is a wine of uncommon depth and texture. Deep and resonant, with tons of persistence, the 2022 is impeccably done..."   - Antonio Galloni - 96 points
