Palmeri Daisy's Chardonnay 2023 Review

Like his father, Drew Damskey is both a wine consultant and winemaker. While he does make wine for other clients, thankfully he can show off his skills under his own label at Palmeri, the Damskey family's passion project. He focuses heavily on small-lot, artisan wines that highlight a sense of place. Drew has a golden touch — in fact, VinePair previously named one of Palmeri’s bottles No. 1 on our list of the 50 best wines of 2022.  This unique Chardonnay comes from the Durell Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast, a prestigious site known for its power and elegance. This bottle showcases a lush side of Chardonnay while still showing restraint, with notes of ripe orchard fruit, pineapple, toasted hazelnuts, and spice. This rich core of fruit is framed by grippy edges and a mineral-driven acidity. This wine can age, but is drinking well now.
