Score 97/100 · Drink 2024-2032, Jeb Dunnuck, Feb 2024

The 2021 Chardonnay Charlie Smith would give a top White Burgundy a run for its money. Light gold-hued with medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of ripe pears, white currants, chalky minerality, and ample white flower notes, this beauty is incredibly well balanced, has integrated acidity, and a concentrated, powerful, yet still vibrant style that's such a joy to drink. I think it will age, but I love it today as well.

The 2021 Chardonnay Charlie Smith Vineyard emerges from a top site on Moon Mountain planted by Phil Coturri with shot Wente Clone Chardonnay. Rich, ample and potent, the 2021 is endowed with serious mountain structure. Citrus confit, marzipan, chamomile and white flowers all build in this creamy, layered Chardonnay. The 2021 spent 15 months in French oak, 40% new.
