Roar Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay 2022
96 points - limited ROAR makes some of the best and hardest to get new Chardonnays in California. 96 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "From the coolest site this team works with, the 2022 Chardonnay Rosella's Vineyard reveals a medium gold hue as well as a classy nose of ripe stone fruits, honeyed lemons, minty herbs, and some subtle tropical flowers. With medium-bodied richness, it builds nicely with time in the glass and has beautifully integrated oak, a layered mouthfeel, integrated acidity, and a great finish. It's another gorgeous Chardonnay from this team, and it's closer in style to the Sierra Mar than the richer Soberanes release." Robert Parker:...These latest from the team at Roar are a step up. They’re without a doubt the greatest wines I’ve tasted from this estate; readers wanting to taste some of the best wines coming out of the Santa Lucia Highlands need to get on this estate's bandwagon.

The 2022 Chardonnay (Santa Lucia Highlands) boasts terrific weight and concentration. Viscous and opulent, it possesses a lovely inner sweetness. Yellow apple, golden mango and hazelnut notes are neatly delineated and clear as day. The 2022 delivers a touch of oak spice on the long, tender, driven finish. It’s a big wine—I would prefer just a hair more energy, but it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser for lovers of large-scale Chardonnay. (Billy Norris, Vinous, August 2024)
