Reviewed April 2025Coming from the Pisoni and Soberanes vineyards, the 2023 Chardonnay Estate Cuvée reveals classic aromas of buttered apple, spice, and sappy, floral, and honeyed, nutty nuances. Medium-bodied and round on the palate, it has a layered mouthfeel, integrated acidity, and a clean, lengthy finish. Drink over the coming 4-6 years.

Decanter
Expressive aromas of Meyer lemon and lemon oil give way to notes of toasty oak, gaining depth through silky butterscotch and crème brûlée character. This is a rich, full-bodied, and succulent Chardonnay, offering decadence and generosity in equal measure. The fruit is sourced from the Pisoni Estate and Soberanes Vineyard, and the wine is fermented with native yeasts in 40% new French oak and aged for up to 12 months, crafted by winemaker Jeff Pisoni.

James Suckling
Silky, this textural chardonnay has immense internal energy, showing lanolin, honeycomb, savory notes and persimmon. Gently toasty oak spices lend layered complexity, and the finish fans out with minerals and sunny citrus. Terrific balance of broadness and verve. Drink or hold.

Vinous
The 2023 Chardonnay Estate Cuvée is round, rich and exuberant, with golden apple, allspice, sweet white peach and stony mineral character. Chamomile and white flowers add lift. A touch of heat pokes out on the finish, but the 2023 entices with its beguiling nose and inner sweetness. (BN)
