2022 Tether Chardonnay Napa Valley

JD92 Always a smoking value, the 2022 Chardonnay is another ripe, sexy Chardonnay that has wonderful purity in its honeyed citrus, pineapple, flower oil, and toasted nut-like nuances. It’s rich, medium to full-bodied, has a beautiful texture, and a clean finish. It’s beautifully done and well worth seeking out.
TWI90 The 2022 Chardonnay swans out with forward notes of ripe peaches and honeydew melon followed by hints of cedar, spice cake, and honeysuckle. The medium-bodied palate has a seductive touch of oiliness to the texture, with bags of fruit and great tension, finishing with a spicy kick.
