2022 Woolsey Road Vineyard Chardonnay

2022 Woolsey Road Vineyard Chardonnay
95 Points International Wine Report

The 2022 Woolsey Road Chardonnay consists of ultra premium fruit hailing from the legendary Russian River Valley AVA. Planted in the 1970’s, these 50-year old vines (Old Wente Clone) grown on sandy gold loam fully express themselves with intense tropical notes, oceanic minerality, and bright acidity.

Be sure to chill it down until the lions change color, and then you’ll know you’re at the proper serving temperature! Similar to previous vintages, the full-bodied structure comes from very ripe fruit, native yeast, bâtonnage sur lies, and being unfined and unfiltered. Notes of creamy Maui pineapple, white peaches, jasmine tea, and quince are interlaced with coastal mineral salinity and bright acidity, leading into a long-lasting crème brûlée finish.

Tasting Notes
"The 2022 Woolsey Road Vineyard Chardonnay is absolutely delicious. It instantly begins to impress as it opens with a bouquet of Asian Pears, baked pineapples, tropical fruits, honeysuckle, crème brûlée, and vibrant citrus blossoms, each note coming together in perfect harmony. On the palate, this wine reveals a luxurious texture, beautifully complemented by a refreshing streak of acidity that maintains balance and freshness from start to finish. A truly delightful Chardonnay from Hertelendy that is already exceptional." — International Wine Report, 95 Points
Ratings
"The 2022 ‘Woolsey Road Vineyard’ is sourced from this site in the Russian River Valley. This is dense, unctuous and delicious stuff...saline drenched peaches combine with pie crust and shades of mango creme brûlée on the palate. Delicious now, enjoy over the next six plus years to come. Drink 2025-2031." — Owen Bargreen
