Sure to bring a smile to your face, 2022 The Sage Chardonnay is all about power, grace and joy. These 1979 vines at Dutton Ranch have deep roots that performed admirably in 2022, retaining freshness in the grapes through the heat spikes. The power of the warm finale to the vintage is on display with exotic lemon curd and brioche notes, but our restrained and classic winemaking kept things in balance, bringing vibrant acidity and huge aromatics. Medium-to-full bodied, the lush texture makes the deep flavors echo through a long, smooth finish, with nothing out of place.
