The 2023 Pickleball Chardonnay opens with a lively and expressive bouquet of ripe orchard fruits—golden apple, Anjou pear, and a hint of white peach—lifted by citrus tones of Meyer lemon and tangerine zest. Subtle floral notes of honeysuckle and orange blossom add brightness, while a gentle thread of vanilla bean and toasted almond suggests elegant oak influence.
On the palate, the wine is generous and layered, offering flavors of baked pear tart, pineapple cream, and lemon curd alongside accents of honeycomb and fresh brioche. The texture is silky and rounded, with a creamy mid-palate framed by refreshing acidity that keeps the richness in check. A lingering finish carries hints of toasty oak, almond cream, and a whisper of sea-salt minerality, giving the wine both depth and finesse.
This is a vibrant, crowd-pleasing Chardonnay that balances California sunshine richness with a zippy, energetic finish—perfect for everything from casual sipping to pairing with grilled seafood, roast chicken, or creamy pastas.
