Monty’s Leap The Mulberry Block Chardonnay 2022

The Chardonnays from this Albany-based producer have consistency and produce wines of generous richness from 100% barrel fermentation, with about 25% new oak, and time on lees in barrel for around 10 months. It picks up plenty of texture and richness to underscore the stone fruit and slightly butterscotch palate. The keen, bright natural acidity adds further lift, complemented by a subtle buttery character. An appealing wine.
