Tasting Notes
The 2022 Reserve Chardonnay exemplifies the picturesque Carneros growing region. Opening with deeply complex aromas of apple crisp, caramel popcorn, golden delicious apple, quince, and créme brûlée, this wine beckons the first sip. On the palate, the creamy texture is layered with intriguing flavors - Bartlet pear, peach cobbler, graham cracker, and toffee, culminating in a long, indulgent finish.

The winter of 2021-2022 had minimal rainfall, adding to drought conditions throughout the Carneros region. With mild winter and spring temperatures, budbreak was ahead of average. Summer was warm and dry, with above average temperatures in August and September, leading to an early and condensed harvest. The warm weather resulted in ripe fruit flavors and the earliest harvest FerrariCarano has ever had, August 9th! The white grape harvest was finished on September 29th.
