Domaine Anderson Estate Chardonnay 2022 (750ml)
Product price
$32.99
Description
Anderson Valley sits in the cooler reaches of Mendocino, and that maritime chill tends to give Chardonnay bright acidity and a taut frame. This estate bottling from Domaine Anderson leans into that, a 2022 California Chardonnay grown on the winery's own vineyards and finished with restrained, understated oak rather than the buttery excess the grape is sometimes pushed toward.
Expect a mix of orchard fruit and something more savory: baked apple and dried pear alongside chamomile, dried herbs, and a lift of tangerine oil. There is real structure here, a phenolic grip and juicy acidity that keep it honest, and the finish runs long and mineral. This is a Chardonnay built for the dinner table, deep enough to hold its own against a range of dishes.

Expert Reviews
The 2019 Chardonnay Estate is a heady, boisterous wine. Hints of apricot, dried pear, chamomile, spice, mint, dried herbs and tangerine oil all grace this super-expressive, structured Chardonnay. Readers will find a serious, deep Chardonnay for the dinner table. This could use a bit more focus, especially in its aromatics, but is nicely done just the same.
The 2019 Chardonnay Estate is a bright, fresh style with understated new oak. It has a nose of baked apples, lemon and dark spices. The medium-bodied palate offers more savory tones at this stage, with some phenolic texture balancing its juicy acidity, and it finishes long and mineral driven. This will pair well with a range of cuisines.
