D & L Carinalli’s 2022 Russian River Valley Chardonnay is a refined wine with nothing shouting for your attention on the nose or in the mouth. It prefers instead to let you take a moment to dig through the layered subtlety where seemingly something for everyone awaits. There is real purity of fruit, with apple and pear enhanced by light spice and toast notes. Lovely!
