Raeburn Chardonnay Sonoma County 2022 is an exceptional wine that thrills the senses with its rich, complex fruit tones and delicate balance of oak and vanilla. Every sip of this wine reveals a new layer of flavor, from the crisp notes of pear and Gravenstein apple to the luscious sweetness of nectarine. The result is a wine that perfectly balances the richness of the fruit with the complexity of the oak, creating a truly elegant and satisfying finish.
91pts James Suckling- This shows aromas of ripe pears and pineapple with honeysuckle, toffee, and cooked oranges. Creamy and mellow with a full body, ripe fruit, and hints of salted butter at the end. Polished and long.
90pts Wine Enthusiast- The nose of this wine is energetic and complex, with Bosc pear, crème brûlée, and chalk aromas swirling. The palate is mineral-driven, but the oak framework lends structure and weight to the core of pear, almond skin, and dried orange peel flavors. This wine lingers on the finish with hints of grilled bread, vanilla bean, and very ripe citrus.
86pts Wine Spectator- A spicy, toasty note lingers above the core of apple pastry and grilled peach, with notes of clove and nutmeg on a medium frame. Drink now.
