Shaw & Smith Chardonnay M3 Vineyard 2022

Aiming for elegance, restraint and the ability to age, Shaw + Smith’s M3 Chardonnay’s acid is bright and there’s generosity of flavor. Typically it shows white flowers, citrus, and nectarine notes.

This is a flavorful and intense Chardonnay, with lovely ginger and orange zest notes as well as nectarine flavors. A vintage to age, and to drink straight away.

93 Points – James Suckling

A sleek, mid-weighted & very contemporary chardonnay, embellishing a pungent mineral chassis with roasted cashew, nougat and curdy creaminess. Vanilla-cedar oak, an integrated framework. Apricot pith, white peach and nectarine, too. The acidity, palpably natural of feel and really juicy, towing impressive length. One of the better recent iterations of this rightly popular cuvee.
