Justin Vineyard Chardonnay Sonoma 2022
Bright, straw-colored with golden highlights and moderate tearing in the glass. Highly aromatic and lively on the nose with bright citrus notes, white flower, nuances of ripe pear, and hints of flint. On the entry, the wine shows a rounded texture and balanced freshness. Flavors of spice baked apple, Meyer lemon, ripe Bosc pear, and a touch of flinty minerality add layers of complexity. The wine’s lingering finish leaves a trail of nuanced citrus, orchard fruit, and vanilla spice that lingers on the palate.
The 2022 Justin Chardonnay from Sonoma County pairs nicely with poached lobster and lemon beurre blanc for a perfect fusion of vibrant citrus notes and rich seafood. Alternatively, pair it with creamy butternut squash risotto and a hint of sage for a delightful balance of textures and nuanced aromas.
Critical Acclaim
92 Wine Enthusiast
Spicy cinnamon and butterscotch aromas waft from the swirling glass of this decadent wine. The palate is saturated with flavors of caramel crème, baked apple pie and toasted hazelnuts. It's a powerful and opulent style that will charm many California Chardonnay fans.
91 James Suckling
A rich and creamy nose with aromas of grilled pineapple, sweet baking spices and lemon curd. The palate is full-bodied with fresh acidity and a generous texture, with notes of nectarines, popcorn and grapefruit zest. Classic and generous. Drink or hold.
