Talley Rosemary's Vineyard Chardonnay ‘22

From one of California's most revered Chardonnay sites, this wine offers a luminous gold hue and intoxicating aromas of golden apple, brioche, and toasted hazelnut. The palate is rich yet precise, with layers of baked pear, marzipan, and a touch of struck match unfolding across creamy texture (95 points). Aged 16 months in French oak (40% new), it finishes with incredible mineral persistence. At 14.1% alcohol, it carries its weight gracefully - decant briefly for lobster thermidor or truffle-infused dishes. This vintage will continue developing beautifully through 2030.
