Knockout wine. This is a big Chardonnay and if that’s not your style you may not like it, but within that category it’s balanced, complex and long
Nose is a blast of lemon, grass, white flowers, butter and a hint of the artichoke that comes through more on the palate. The flavor and body is big and bold but balanced with enough acidity and minerality. The more savory artichoke/vegetable notes are also nicely balanced with the fruit flavors and linger in in long finish, giving this wine an interesting and distinctive complexity.

Consumed my last bottle of this vintage - continues to drink beautifully with notes of crisp apple, lemon curd, minerals and hint of crushed stone. Well balanced with long satisfying finish. Paired with grilled king crab legs.

Opened by Allred. Served blind. I've had 9 Peter Michael Chards, always at someone else's expense. This was an excellent example of a rich concentrated California Chardonnay. A buttery and oaky nose. Notes of lemons and waxy white fruit. An oily texture with some alcohol on the spicy finish. Unfortunately, this is not a style that appeals to me. 91 points.

4th Saturday Brown Bagger (EBCC): Light youthful color with aromas of lemon and citrus fruit, pear and fig. Apple, citrus and mineral on the palate. Rich, with a lingering finish.

2022 Judgement of Chevy Chase (R & N's residence): This is a textbook example of Peter Michael Chardonnay. Rich golden color. Very rich and concentrated nose, ripe tropical yellow fruit, dry peach, candied pineapple, crème brulee, butter scotch, noticeable oak, sweet spices and mineral. There is a hint of heat at the end. Exceptional concentration, packed very ripe yellow fruit, rich and oily, medium acidity and mineral, and a medium long ripe yellow fruit driven finish. IMO, Peter Michael’s whites are meant to be drunken early. This is a bit cloying and tired.
