🏰 The 2022 Tan Fruit 'Petite Tan Fruit' Chardonnay is described as an uncomplicated wine meant for casual, early drinking. It's an "ode to Petit Chablis" from second-generation winegrower Jim Maresh, sourcing grapes from Willamette, Umpqua, and Columbia Valley appellations, including some Washington fruit. Matured for 10 months in stainless steel and bottled under screw cap, it aims to be a wine you don't have to overthink. Tasting notes reveal soft aromas of flint, marzipan, and fresh bread, accenting a core of white peach. The light-bodied palate balances concentrated stone fruit with bright, gently tangy acidity, leading to a long, nutty finish. Vinous describes it as perfumed with young peach, crushed stones, and savory herbs, silky-smooth with citrus and white pit fruits, and a saline mineral tinge. It finishes crisply refreshing yet long and potent, with a spicy touch. 【 An uncomplicated wine for casual enjoyment 】. 🍴 This versatile Chardonnay pairs well with roast white meats, white sauce pasta, fresh seafood, and crunchy greens. It's also excellent with chicken and turkey. For Eastern cuisine, consider steamed fish with ginger and scallions, chicken congee, or light dim sum. 🥂 Ideal for everyday enjoyment, a picnic, a casual brunch, or as a refreshing aperitif. Its approachable style makes it a great choice for gatherings where you want a crowd-pleasing white wine.
