Chardonnay "Crossbarn", Paul Hobbs, Sonoma Coast, CA, 2022

Jeb Dunnuck 92 Points

The 2022 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast takes on a touch deeper straw appearance but is still pale yellow and offers notes of wet stone, ripe peach, and melon rind. It’s full-bodied, with a rounded mouthfeel and good lifted freshness, more ripe peach, melon, and flowers and a good finish. This attractive white also reveals a touch of warming spice.

A full and layered white with sliced cooked apple and lemon aromas and flavors. Plenty of cooked apple, lemon skin and mineral undertones. Drink or hold.

The 2022 Chardonnay, made with 98% estate fruit, is open and perfumed with scents of fresh quince, yellow apples, cashews, acacia and bread dough. The light-bodied palate features generous, crunchy fruit, a touch of roundness to its texture, tangy freshness and a long, ethereal finish. This is very easy to drink!
