2022 Vanguard Chardonnay
The Old Guard and The Vanguard wines are style-driven expressions. The Vanguard is richly textured, opulent, and velvety, while The Old Guard is all about structure. The Old Guard wines are complex, energetic, taut, and firmly structured. Each “Guard” is a blended barrel selection of pinot noir or chardonnay in a well-defined style.
Rich, radiant, and complex with notes of ripe orchard fruit, toasted bread, blanched almond, and delicate white flowers. Supple with tremendous textural density. Medium-bodied; it balances integrated acidity with a lush, pure, and elegant finish.
