Bernardus Winery Ingrid Vineyard Chardonnay 2024, Carmel Valley, California

Golden in color.

Oak on the nose with citrus, apples, pears, melons and herbs.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with light wood, citrus, limes, spices, herbs and light earth.

Nice finish with limes and light almonds.

This is a delicious Chardonnay from Carmel Valley in Monterey County. Soft and smooth, spicy and entertaining.

This Single Vineyard Chardonnay is elegant and fruit forward. Rich, buttery and easy drinking. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Delicious right out of the bottle, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years. The high alcohol is well integrated already.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

100% Chardonnay grapes were aged in (33% new) French oak barrels. A small production of less than 2,000 bottles.

14.8% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$55.

Golden and delicious. Slight oak, butter and bananas. Found on bottom of my closet. Expected the worst.

Can Bernardus be called a hidden gem on Monterey? You certainly don’t see much of it on the east coast. This is a beautiful Chardonnay, oaky and rich with the perfect amount of acidity to keep it from feeling too heavy. Lemon curd and peach dominate the fruit followed by a pleasant bitterness. The finish is long and silky with a lingering spice. A perfect food wine.
