2022 Kutch Chardonnay Bohan Salt Point Block Sonoma Coast, USA, California, Wine Review

Vintage:

Score:

Grade: 
A

Another great Kutch wine. His Chardonnays (and Pinots) are really top notch. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with red apples, slight vanilla and spice. Medium to full bodied. Crisp acidity. On the palate, this is concentrated but unwinds nicely in the glass. Great texture. Flavors of apples and maybe some pears. Long finish. This is delicious and drinks very easily. Great on its own but better with food. A nice choice for rich seafood as the crispness will lend a nice foil. Drink over the next ten years.

Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is clean with peaches, a slight chalk note and spice.  Medium to full bodied.  Moderate acidity.  On the palate, this is smooth with some depth.  Flavors of peach with some chalkiness.  Good finish.  Getting close to maturity but may gain some complexity.  This is lovely on its own but probably better with food.  A nice choice with  Sushi.  Drink over the next fine years.

Looking for a white Burgundy that won't break the bank?  This one is drinking quite nicely.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with lemons, slight cantaloupe, and a hint apple.  Medium bodied.  Nice balance.  On the palate, crisp lemons flavors with a touch of cantaloupe.  Slicht minerality.  Good finish.  This is an easy to drink Chardonnay that is lovely on its own and will work nicely with lighter foods.  A nice choice for grilled sea food.  Drink over the next three to six years.

This is made using American Oak barrels.  Medium golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose has char, some lemon, dill and vanilla.  Medium bodied.  On the palate, this seems a bit disjointed.  Hopefully it comes together with some age.  Flavors of char, and a bit weedy, the fruit seems more to the back but lemon comes out on the finish.  Probably better with food.  Big flavors would help.

This is Unoaked Chardonnay from the northeast corner of Ohio along Lake Erie.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is clean with slight green apples with a bit of wild herbs.  Medium bodied.  Crisp acidity.  On the palate, the green apples carry thru.  This is an easy drinking white wine that is nice on its own and would be nice with grilled Lake Erie Trout or other grilled fish.  Drink over the next couple of years.
