Jeb Dunnuck Review Rated 94 Coming from the Stanly Ranch, the 2022 Chardonnay Profile Silhouette reveals a gorgeous bouquet of ripe citrus, orange blossom, white flowers, and brioche. Brought up all in large barrels (30-40% new), it's round and rich on the palate, with a beautiful texture and impressive depth, while maintaining good acidity and purity.
