The 2022 Chardonnay Silver Eagle Vineyard is another absolutely pristine wine in this range from Matt Courtney. Chalk mint white pepper and slate meld into a core of chiseled citrus fruit. I especially admire the wine’s translucent energy and overall finesse. This is seriously impressive. – By Antonio Galloni on January 2025 Matt Courtney’s 2022s are brilliant! 96pts Vinous
