Grand Opening Wines Petaluma Gap Chardonnay 2023, Sonoma County, California Pretty color of yellow with a golden hue. Fruity nose of ripe citrus fruits, yellow apples, minerals, light oak, spices, peaches and light nuts. Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity. Dry on the palate with rippen apples, limes, light oak, spices, earth, minerals, herbs and sea salt. Medium plus on the finish with limes, almonds and herbs. This is an elegant Chardonnay from Sonoma County. Fruit forward and tangy. Nicely balanced with nice complexity. Crispy for a Chardonnay. Feels like a California Chardonnay, with a touch of Sauvignon Blanc. Interesting stuff. Showing nice acidity that keeps it fresh. Good right out of the bottle, and better after 45 minutes of airtime. Better when not too cold. Tangy, soft and engaging. Good by itself as a shipping wine, or with food. 100% Chardonnay grapes were aged in (58% new) French Oak barrels for 9 months. 13.5% alcohol by volume. 90 points. $65.
