Wayfarer Chardonnay 'Wayfarer Vineyard'

One of the best Chardonnays produced in California, Jason and Cleo Pahlmeyer's Wayfarer Estate Vineyard is located in the Fort Ross-Seaview section of the Sonoma Coast. Located just down the road from Helen Turley's and John Wetlaufer's Marcassin Vineyard, this is holy ground for highly expressive, concentrated, and layered California Chardonnay(s). "The 2021 Chardonnay The Estate is delightfully decadent and almost feels like a guilty pleasure—it's so packed with flavor! It has gregarious aromatic layers of warm peach, summer honey, candied citrus and wafts of allspice. The medium-bodied palate is luxuriously satiny and features expansive, concentrated flavors. Despite its generosity, it maintains balance with bright acidity, and it has an epically long finish." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points
