Blue Farm 2022 Chardonnay Laceroni   

San Francisco Wine Panel 96 Points
As rich in fruit and complex as in the past this Chardonnay, from the famed Zio Toni Vineyard, is already satisfying. The aromas are a creamy harmony of white peach, baked apple, preserved lemon, baking spice, nutmeg and toasted hazelnut scents. It proves as flavorful and palate-coating in the mouth as expected, yet also delivers textbook Russian River zest in counterpoint to its long-lingering flavors of apple, yellow and white peach, lemon, orange zest and hazelnut nougat. Delicious now, it is sure to grow ever more appealing if cellared for another twelve to eighteen months. 240 cases produced.
