2022 Westwood Chardonnay, Founder's Reserve, Sangiacomo Roberts Road Vineyard, Sonoma Coast
2022 was a tale of two harvests, resulting in wines with a diverse range of flavors from crisp and vibrant to bold and powerful. Our second bottling of the Founder’s Reserve Chardonnay, crafted by Philippe Melka and Maayan Koschitzky, embodies elegance and refinement. With a radiant golden hue and alluring aromas of citrus blossoms and toasted vanilla, it offers a sensory journey of ripe pear, tropical fruits, and a delicate hint of butterscotch.

"The Robert's Road Vineyard Chardonnay from Westwood is fantastic in 2022. It begins with an inviting bouquet of tangerine, key lime pie, quince, tropical fruits, straw, toasted brioche, crushed stone and white flower.. On the palate this is full-bodied chardonnay with a delicious creamy texture and fantastic natural acidity that adds balance to this wine. Fantastic on release, but there is no doubt that this will gain complexity with a few years of bottle age, and can last over a decade in the cellar."
