Score 87/100 · Drink 2022-2025, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Mar 2023

The 2021 Chardonnay is gently toasty and woody, with notes of pear and melon, plus some custardy nuances. It's full-bodied, broad and generous on the palate, perhaps even a touch warm, with spicy and peppery nuances on the lingering finish.

I loved the 2021 Chardonnay, and this beauty has lots of stone fruits, brioche, and nicely integrated oak to go with a medium-bodied, round, supple, beautifully balanced style on the palate. This is classic Napa Valley Chardonnay done brilliantly. Drink bottles over the coming 3-5 years.

Baked apricots, flint, anise and dried lemons on the nose, followed by a medium-to full-bodied palate, with some oak spices that give a nice, grippy mouth-feel to the creamy center-palate. Drink now.
