2022 Radio-Coteau Chardonnay Sea Bed

From the Sonoma Coast, the 2022 Chardonnay SeaBed Estate comes from the estate’s own biodynamically farmed site and is a bright yellow/silver color. It was raised for 16 months in 25% new French oak, followed by two months in stainless steel before bottling. In the glass, it’s focused and detailed, with unfolding layers of lemon verbena, honeycomb, river rocks, melon, and almond. It offers a medium to full-bodied frame that gains in intensity through the mid-palate and finish, with fabulous purity and drive. An exceptional wine, it’s a pleasure to taste now, but it has the bones to age another 8-10 years.
