Vinous
Cool-toned and lithe, the 2022 Chardonnay Fogstone Vineyard fills the mouth with minerality and tart lemony acidity. Sweet corn, peach and yellow apple lift from the glass, followed up with a lick of creamy vanilla and salty river rock tones. A little bitterness on the finish lends intrigue. This rocky site sits at the northern end of the Santa Lucia Highlands, where the fog rolls in early and leaves late (hence the name), leading to long hang-time and gentle ripening.

White peach, mint, lemongrass and light almond aromas are intriguing on the nose of this single-vineyard expression. There is a jubilant, citrus-driven energy to the palate, where rounded stone fruit and salted apple flavors align.

The 2022 Chardonnay Fogstone Vineyard is bigger and richer, with a spicy oak and buttered citrus-driven nose that carries to a richly textured, layered, beautifully balanced profile on the palate. This Meursault-like beauty brings the fruit and is beautifully done. Drink bottles over the coming 4-5 years.
