ROUTE STOCK SONOMA COAST CHARDONNAY 2022 REGULARLY $22.99 WINE ENTHUSIAST 91 POINTS

This wine is a blend of three separate clones of Chardonnay: Wente (61%), Dijon 76 (31%) and Chardonnay Musque (8%). This trio of clones gives the wine greater complexity, depth of flavor and aromatics than any single clone wine.

The wine shows a beautiful light straw color with seductive aromas of Meyer lemon, wet stone, lemon thyme, melon and ginger. The wine fills the pallet beautifully with a brightness and liveliness combined with just enough richness to not be heavy that shows the Carneros region’s strengths to the best degree. The exotic flavors of this well-balanced Chardonnay are of Meyer lemon rind, fresh tarragon, honeydew melon and jasmine tea and that transitions to an amazingly balanced mouth-feel and lengthy finish.
