Peter Michael Chardonnay "LA CARRIERE" Sonoma County 750mL
| Vintage: | 2022 |
|---|---|
| Description: | The name La Carriere aptly describes this site's bowl shape and its tremendously rocky soils. Situated between 1,200 and 1,700 feet above sea level on steep mountain slopes exceeding 40 percent in grade, the vineyard has ideal southern and southeastern exposures. The site's shallow rocky soils provide excellent drainage, low fertility, and usually the lowest yields on the estate. 'La Carriere', with its concentrated "liquid minerality," effectively reflects its mountainous origin. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 96-98 Points - "i tasted the 2022 Chardonnay La Carrire from tank on the day of its bottling. It has an alluring delicacy on the nose with soft scents of peach, apricot, meringue, toasted bread and honeysuckle with nuances of roasted almonds and flint. The palate combines a bright spine of acidity with a satiny texture and expansive, layered stone fruit and spice layers, and it has a very long finish. 1,503 cases will be made, and the La Carrire will be released in February of 2024.". Wine Spectator 96 Points - "a stunning, lovely mix of marzipan and nougat, with notes of orange sherbet, lemon blossoms, salted toffee and peach preserves on an elegant, supple and smooth frame, with fresh acidity. Grace notes of lemon balm and lemon thyme, plus a touch of vetiver, add to the aromatic appeal and complexity. Drink now through 2037." |
