Paul Lato 'Kokoro' Chardonnay, Santa Barbara County, USA 2022
The 2022 Chardonnay Kokoro comes from a best blend selection put together by Lato that spent 19 months in oak, 50% being new. This beauty just jumps out of the glass with a gorgeous array of ripe stone fruits, buttered almonds, flower oil, toasted brioche, and a touch of creamed corn. These all carry over to the palate, where the wine is medium-bodied, has the vintage's forward, charming style, remarkable purity and precision, and a great finish. It's another riveting Chardonnay from Lato, who has certainly made the most of the more elegant, pretty style of the 2022 vintage. This should evolve nicely over the coming 7-8 years or more.
