Matchbook Chardonnay Dunnigan Hills '22

Scoring 88 points, this balanced Chardonnay offers excellent quality for its price point. The 2022 vintage presents aromas of golden apple, toasted almond, and a hint of vanilla. The medium-bodied palate delivers flavors of ripe pear, lemon curd, and a touch of baking spice, with refreshing acidity that keeps it lively. Partial malolactic fermentation and aging in French oak (25% new) provide texture without heaviness. The finish is clean and moderately long. Pair with roast chicken, seafood pasta, or soft cheeses. A Chardonnay that walks the line between richness and refreshment.
