Williams-Selyem Chardonnay Russian River Valley Unoaked 2022

94 points Wine Enthusiast: "This Chardonnay is a breath of fresh air. Lively citrus aromas pair with juicy pineapple, chalky minerality and jasmine on the nose, while the palate gives fresh nectarine and lemon-lime acidity through the exceptionally long finish. Drink this with oysters on a beautiful summer afternoon. Alcohol 14.1%. (Sep 2024)"

92 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "Although Chardonnay fermented and matured in stainless steel can result in a fairly neutral expression, this 2022 Unoaked Chardonnay has an exotic edge that lures you back to the glass for another refreshing sip. It has layered, inviting scents of lemongrass, yellow apple, lime peel, flint, cashew and beeswax. The palate offers concentrated, gently honeyed flavors and an alluring textural grip drives a surprisingly long finish. 742 cases were made. Drink: 2024-2029. (10/10/24)"

92 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "The 2022 Chardonnay Unoaked is sourced solely from old vines and does not go through malolactic fermentation to preserve a fresh, crisp style. It pours a bright straw/green-tinged hue and offers pithy aromas of lime zest, green pear, chive, and a hint of pilsner. Medium-bodied, it has a cleansing texture, with a charming, elegant feel and mouthwatering freshness, but also floral notes on the finish. It's a beautiful wine with a lot of character to drink over the next 5-6 years. Drink: 2024-2030. (6/27/24)"
