Tasting Notes

00 Wines Freya Herman Cuvee Chardonnay 2022

"One of the richest, most expansive chardonnays from 00 Wines, this goes deep in poached apple, marzipan and brown butter flavors backed by vivid acidity. So alive, layered and concentrated yet light on its feet, with moderate alcohol of 13.5%. Drink now or hold." 98 Points, Jim Gordon, James Suckling

"Pouring a bright golden yellow color, the 2022 Chardonnay Freya Hermann Cuvee sees two years in barrel. Notes of smoky earth, brûléed lemon, custard, vanilla, and pure green apples all emerge from the glass. Full-bodied, it’s the same wine, but with more aging, and has a rounded feel. It takes things up a notch, with Grand Cru-like richness, a silky texture from this undisclosed site, and a long, lingering finish that lasts for ages. Drink over the coming 15 years." 97 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, Audrey Frick
