Score 97/100 · Drink 2022-2027, Jeb Dunnuck, Mar 2022

A blend of all the single vineyards put together by winemaker Russell Bevan, the 2019 Chardonnay AK Cuvee knocks it out of the park and gives up a stunning array of lemon oil, toasted brioche, spice, flower oil, and hints of almonds. It’s ripe yet still lively and fresh on the palate, with a seamless texture and great overall balance. It’s a killer Chardonnay to enjoy over the coming 4-5 years.

The 2019 Chardonnay AK Cuvee is winemaker Russell Bevan's barrel selection blend of roughly three barrels of Ritchie vineyard and two barrels of Rued vineyard. It prances out of the glass with showy notes of fresh apricots, nutmeg and mandarin peel, over a core of pear tart, shaved ginger and beeswax. The full-bodied, concentrated palate is full-on opulent, featuring layers of satin-textured stone fruit and baking spice flavors, finishing with epic length. So. Good.
