The 2022 Artesa Chardonnay Estate Vineyard from Los Carneros, Napa Valley, offers a rich and creamy profile with vibrant notes of ripe peaches, tropical fruit, and honeysuckle, complemented by hints of almonds and vanilla. It balances a silky texture with crisp acidity, highlighted by flavors of Meyer lemon, white blossom, and stone fruit. The wine shows elegant oak integration from 9 months aging on lees in French oak barrels, adding depth without overpowering the fresh fruit character. Its bright acidity and refined minerality recall the finesse of classic Burgundy Chardonnays, making it approachable yet complex. This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, creamy seafood dishes, or a mild, buttery cheese.
