2022 Aequorin Chardonnay

The 2022 Chardonnay Aequorin is seductive from the first tilt of the glass as a whiff of chamomile mingles with crushed almonds, sweet basil, mint and dusty stone. Energetic yet deep, complex and intensely mineral, it delivers a sour citrus infusion and crisp orchard fruit that rattles the senses. Sharply focused, it leaves a spicy ginger inflection and a hint of tart green apple that lingers incredibly long. In 2022 the Aequorin comes exclusively from the Carlisle's Crest vineyard. It was refined in 34% new oak.

Super-interesting herbal, honeyed and spicy aromas. It’s intricate, tense, layered, full-bodied and smooth, balanced by a snap of acidity and subtle tannin. Roasted almonds, poached pears and baked apples in the lingering finish. Drink now or hold.

A bright straw/yellow color, the 2022 Chardonnay Aequorin is fantastic, layered with notes of pear, caramel apples, hints of butterscotch, lime blossoms, wet stones, and saline broth. It’s full-bodied, yet it has an electric energy that weaves through the wine, keeping it light on its feet, with a focused and linear drive, mouthwatering lime citrus, and salty earth that lingers long on the finish. Drink 2025-2037.
