2022 | Perchance Beckstoffer Lake Vineyard Chardonnay | Carneros Paolo Lazzaroni & Figli S.p.a. While the fruit seems fresherThe 2022 Chardonnay Beckstoffer Carneros Lake Vineyard is stunning stuff, and this is one I can't wait to taste from bottle. Reminding me of a great Chardonnay from Aubert with its ripe pineapple, lemon oil, candlewax, and honeyed flower notes, it hits the palate with medium to full bodied richness, a layered, seamless mouthfeel, and that rare mix of richness and freshness. This will spend 15 months in barrels, and there are roughly. 95 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
