2023 Luke's Grove Chardonnay

2023 Luke's Grove

Chardonnay

RUSSIAN RIVERsonoma county


SPECIAL: $27.00
RETAIL: $46.00


TASTING NOTES

While never shy, our 2023 Luke’s Grove Chardonnay offers a bit more finesse than the 2022. Singing it's dry-farmed song so beautifully, we find the expressively floral Rued clone notched up in intensity while maintaining a certain noble reserve at the same time.

The naturally concentrated, dense core of baked apple and pear is lifted with classic tiny white flower accents, lemon oil and a toasty hazelnut finish.

Small amounts of Old Wente clone complement the Rued by providing a touch of extra depth. Exuberantly Russian River Valley, rich yet in complete harmony with itself. Like it's 1KM West sibling, this 2023 Chardonnay should evolve nicely for another 5-7 years!
