Buehler Vineyards Chardonnay Russian River Valley 2022 750ml

Expert Review - Vintage 2022

Wine Spectator 88 Points | Lemon meringue, peach preserves and grilled pineapple mingle with spice, toasted brioche and marmalade notes on a plump and smooth frame.

Winemaker Notes

Crafted from two exceptional vineyard sources in Sonoma’s renowned Russian River Valley — Wood Vineyard on River Road and River Vineyard on East Side Road — this Chardonnay showcases the region’s signature cool-climate character with California sunshine warmth. The floral, mineral, and lime character of River Vineyard complements the lush peach and apricot notes from Wood Vineyard, creating exceptional balance and complexity. Sur-lie aging adds toasty graham cracker and brioche notes with a creamy, velvet-textured mouthfeel.

Tasting Notes

Abundant floral and stone fruit aromas on the nose. The palate is plush and smooth with flavors of lemon meringue, peach preserves, grilled pineapple, and subtle spice. Toasty brioche and graham cracker notes from sur-lie aging add richness, while natural acidity keeps the wine fresh and lively. The finish is long and clean with marmalade and spice accents.
