Luminescent pale gold in color, this vibrant chardonnay jumps out of the glass with fresh aromas of white peach and honeydew melon brightened by notes of key lime zest and night blooming jasmine. On the palate, enticing layers of nectarine and fresh orange blossom unfold alongside a whisper of sea spray, with a soft, rounded midpalate lifted by an elegant ribbon of limestone minerality. The finish is long, crisp, and mouthwatering.
93 James Suckling A fresh, fruity, juicy, crisp white that's generous in green apples, baked apples and minerals on a medium body. Subtle flavors of cream and butter come from partial malolactic conversion while maturing in stainless steel containers.
91 Wine Enthusiast Aromas of fresh lemon, apple blossom, and green apple flow from the glass on the nose of this approachable Chardonnay. The palate has some tropical energy, with pineapple and spice mingling with citrus and nectarine flavors and a long, acid-driven finish.
90 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Made with 81% estate fruit, the 2024 Chardonnay has fresh aromas of red apples and pears, lemon peel, bread dough and spice. The medium-bodied palate is easygoing with ripe flavors, vibrant acidity and a long, flavorful finish.
