Roar Chardonnay Santa Lucia Highlands 750mL
| Vintage: | 2022 |
|---|---|
| Description: | In the hills of California's Monterey County lies an area that grows some of the very best Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah. This area is known as the Santa Lucia Highlands. Like many other famed grape growing regions of the state, what once was known for orchards and vegetables farms has become heralded for their grapes, and Roar's Franscioni family is regarded as having one of the top vineyards in the area. In fact, the Franscioni's Rosella's and Sierra Mar Vineyards are in such demand, due to the stellar quality of fruit pulled off the vines, that the finished wines command prices similar to what is found in the Russian River Valley, and even parts of Burgundy!. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 91 Points - "The 2022 Chardonnay Santa Lucia Highlands overperforms considerably, offering the brightest and most focused expression of Chardonnay in the Roar stable. An energetic nose of orchard fruits, citrus peels, jasmine and baking spices introduce a silken, focused palate that props up its otherwise weighty texture. The finish is rich and decadent yet balanced with a subtle spine of acidity." |
