2022 Welch CH Jeb Dunnuck 93

Displaying a bright yellow/silver hue, the 2022 Chardonnay Welch Vineyard is more focused and linear in the glass, with a pleasing, very light flinty feel and notes of lime zest, starfruit, and delicate spice. It’s medium-bodied, with a chalky texture, and has a delicate toasty spice on the finish. It has a weightless feel and is a charming wine to drink over the coming 5-6 years. It was aged for 25 months in roughly one-third new French oak.
