Clos Pegase Description

RNDC

92pts James Suckling

Burnt lemons, lard, ginger and some crushed olives on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with moderate acidity. Well-rounded and smoky with a silky texture. Poised and refined with a seductive finish. Drink or hold.

91pts Wine Enthusiast

Caramel apple aromas and toasty, spicy flavors lend a powerful, extravagant character to this full-bodied, generously oaked wine. Its superripe pear and apple flavors lend an almost late-harvest feel.

Wine Spectator

Toasty and spicy up front, with a juicy core of apple, citrus and peach flavors, revealing notes of white tea, citrus pith and spices on the finish. Drink now. 11,000 cases made.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The slightly disjointed 2022 Estate Grown Chardonnay Mitsuko's Vineyard features scents of pineapple, lime and pear on the nose, alongside hints of cottage cheese. It's only medium-bodied but plump and reasonably generous; then it turns crisp and tight on the finish.

The Wine Independent

Notes of ripe yellow apples, juicy peaches, and persimmon leap from the glass of the 2022 Chardonnay, plus touches of baking bread and toasted almonds. The medium to full-bodied palate has a pleasant oiliness to the texture offset by a lively backbone and bags of apple and stone-fruit flavors, finishing on a nutty note.

Jeb Dunnuck

The 2022 Chardonnay is upfront, buttery, and opulent, with ample honeyed stone fruit, medium to full body, and a good finish. It's well done in the style.

Winemaker Notes

Shining straw gold in the glass, the 2022 Chardonnay opens with juicy aromas of apricot, ripe peach, honeysuckle and a touch of vanilla. The palate is silky smooth, with additional notes of crisp stone fruit perfectly balanced with persistent acidity. A fantastic food friendly Chardonnay, pair this with grilled peaches with goat cheese, mahi mahi tacos and fresh summer salads.
