2022 Park Avenue Estate Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

Park Avenue elicits thoughts of icons, history, towers, and titans. Nestled between our ‘Lauren’ and ‘CIX’ Estate Vineyards, Park Avenue was our fourth Estate Vineyard to be planted and fifth to come into production. It shares the same hillside and exposure as Lauren, but has a distinctly different stretch of ancient seabed and subsoils.

Mark Aubert’s Tasting Notes

The 2022 Park Avenue Chardonnay is exotic and joyful, bounding from the glass with fragrant yuzu oil, passionfruit, and lemongrass. Structurally, the wine is lithe and fresh, with almond croissant and ripe apricot flavors adding a rich counterpoint to the racy texture. Orange oil and white pepper add further layers of complexity, with a fine beam of acidity that crescendos across the palate, guiding and delineating the wine’s long finish. The wine is slightly hazy, showing our commitment to minimal intervention winemaking.
