2022 Purple Hands "Haakon/Lenai Vineyard" Dundee Hills Chardonnay

Jeb Dunnuck
A light hazy yellow hue, the 2022 Chardonnay Haakon/Lenai Vineyard delivers delicate flint notes along with rocky earth, preserved lemon, bright apples, and concentrated, salty earth. Medium to full-bodied, it has compact intensity, with electricity driving through the palate, and I also love the texture of this wine. Fully dry, with great extract, it has depth and richness without being heavy. It’s a fantastic and age-worthy wine to drink over the next 10-12 years.

Brimming with tension and texture, the outstanding 2022 Purple Hands ‘Haakon/Lenai’ Chardonnay delivers oyster shell and salty peach flavors that combine with suggestions of Meyer lemon and brioche notes on the palate. Medium to full-bodied, showing good viscosity and verve, enjoy this beauty now and over the next ten years. Don’t serve too cold! Drink 2024-2034

Wine Advocate
The 2022 Chardonnay Haakon Lenai Vineyard, matured in 30% new oak, is pure and expressive. It has ringing aromas of peach and guava, plus accents of roasted hazelnuts, hay and honey. The medium-bodied palate offers surprisingly concentrated, detailed fruit. It balances bright acidity with a touch of textural grip, and it has a long, expansive finish.

This lemon-scented and mineral-driven Chardonnay has an additional aroma that I can't resist—lavender butter. The flavors are downright tropical, with macadamia nuts, lemon cookies and a dusting of coconut. The wine's texture is smooth and easy, with restrained acidity and a lengthy finish. — Michael Alberty
