Score 93/100 · Drink 2022-2028, Jeb Dunnuck, Jan 2021

The biggest and richest Chardonnay in the lineup is the 2018 Chardonnay Lewis Vineyard. This beauty has loads of caramelized orchard fruits, white flowers, honeysuckle, and toasted brioche-like aromas and flavors. It’s medium to full-bodied with high yet nicely integrated acidity and a great finish. Give bottles another 6-12 months and enjoy over the following 4-6 years. This is a beautifully done Chardonnay.

The 2018 Chardonnay Lewis Vineyard opens with gregarious scents of pineapple upside-down cake, green mango and apricot preserves with nuances of beeswax, acacia honey, praline and creme caramel. Full-bodied, the palate has a decadently oily texture with plenty of freshness to balance and layers of toasty, spicy, tropical fruits, finishing on a lingering nutty note.

Starting with the base Chardonnay, the 2018 Chardonnay is a ripe, nicely textured, concentrated white that has classy buttered citrus and orchard fruit as well as a touch of background oak. It's rock-solid.
