2022 Rodney Strong Chalk Hill Chardonnay
Uno February – 2026
As many of you know, Rodney Strong is the favorite vineyard of the Chardonnay Queen, and over the years we have sampled many bottles of wine from this renowned winery. Below are a couple of professional reviews of one of our favorite Chardonnays from Rodney Strong, and after that is a review I wrote ten years ago. Some things don’t change!
2022 Rodney Strong Chalk Hill Chardonnay
Wine Enthusiast 91
The nose of this Chardonnay displays aromas of macerated apple, nectarine and cinnamon, with flavors of pithy lemon, barrel spice, white flowers and biscuit emerging on the richly textured but energetic palate. Drink now with crab cakes or grilled prawns.
Wine Spectator 90
Wine Spectator: 90 Points – Well-spiced, featuring concentrated lemon curd, apple tart and glazed pear flavors. Custardy midpalate, with a finish that lingers with minerally and buttery overtones.

This is a classic Chardonnay for an everyday price. The bouquet reminds one of a basket of apples fresh from the orchard, accompanied by a spray of wildflowers. The flavors are abundant with apple being the most assertive, with a touch of tropical fruit, graced by a hint of citrus in the background. This is a well rounded Chardonnay which has the mineral backdrop characteristic of the chalky soil, and has a creamy mouth-feel leading into a crisp, but lingering finish. The alcohol content is 14%.
Adding the Rodney Strong Chalk Hill to a plate of Shrimp Scampi and fresh asparagus was delightful. This Chardonnay tastes like Chardonnay, which is not as common as it once was, and means that it would pair well with anything you enjoy with Chardonnay. Norm’s score is 93.
