The 2022 Lorenzi Estate Carneros Chardonnay is a wine of cool-climate precision, mineral elegance, and the quintessential Carneros Chardonnay character that has made this appellation — straddling the southern reaches of both Napa and Sonoma counties, swept by the cooling afternoon winds and morning fogs from San Pablo Bay — one of California's most celebrated and consistently outstanding sources for Chardonnay of world-class quality. The Lorenzi Estate, with its dedicated farming and deep respect for Carneros terroir, produces a Chardonnay that is defined first and foremost by its site: the appellation's cold mornings, moderate temperatures, and extended growing season create conditions for natural acidity and aromatic complexity that are rarely achievable in warmer parts of California, producing white wines of genuine tension, mineral backbone, and the aging potential of a great European Chardonnay. In the glass: aromas of green apple, ripe pear, lemon curd, oyster shell, toasted hazelnut, and a striking chalky mineral precision lead to a full-bodied yet taut, elegantly textured palate of excellent natural acidity, outstanding focus, and a long, clean, mineral-driven finish of real distinction and style.
