2023 Paul Lato "Done & Done - Rincon Vineyard" Arroyo Grande Valley Chardonnay

Sourced from the Rincon Vineyard and brought up 16 months in 50% new French oak, the 2023 Chardonnay Done & Done Rincon Vineyard offers crushed citrus, lemon, and hints of tropical fruits intermixed with white flowers. It has gorgeous purity, medium body, a fresh, focused, vibrant mouthfeel, and a great finish. This is one of the most impressive Chardonnays in the vintage from this site and will have 7-8 years of prime drinking. Drink 2025-2033. Paul Lato continues to produce one of the most impressive lineups I taste each year. These are all brilliant wines. They consistently show a balance between California richness and Old World restraint.
