Stunning as usual. Nose is dense almost like a pastry aromatic texture if that makes sense. Gorgeous green apple and some pear and huge minerals but you smell the opulence of 2022. Lots of brown sugar as well. Rich, energetic and just full of fruit. Huge fruit which is just brilliant here. So complex and concentrated with the fruit veering more towards fruit skin. Exquisite balance and drop dead purity. Wow this is clean. Stunning inner mouth aromas. Chewy and dense unreal depth. Finish leans saline and the juiciness keeps pumping the fruit skin, little bit of fruit flesh and unreal length that also has tiny accents of spice. Brilliant. What a finish. Lingers like a bad zit. I love 22, has all the opulence, but also all the minerality and all the energy. Brilliant. Ah wow, after 6+ hours open this is a delight. It’s so filigreed and elegant with sweet minerals and so much juiciness backed by the most unreal precision ever. — 2 days ago

Mer Soleil

Reserve Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay 2022

Taking its name from the sea and sun – the two forces of nature that shape its character. Pale lemon, aromas of Stone and tropical fruits, with floral and sweet spice notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach & apricot with lemon zest and toasty vanilla notes. Smooth long finish, well balanced, nice acidity, ending with fruit, vanilla oak and mineral character. Sip’s well now. Pair this with some fresh tuna! — 2 months ago

So good. 22’s rounding into the form I had from barrel in June 23. Unreal cherry clarity on the nose and super floral. Pungent. Palate is so good. Opulent sweet fruit but all so chiseled. Juicy and just gorgeous clarity of fruit here. Sick inner mouth aromas. Such finesse and softness but structured softness. Unreal velvet texture. Let’s see what air does. Supple and sweeter with air. — 3 months ago
