James Suckling
Reviewed November 2024This elegant, concentrated wine from a long, cool growing season is restrained, taut and fresh. It will be best with more time in the bottle, but it’s so fascinating now for the racy acidity and the mineral, almond and green apple flavors. It's tangy, medium-bodied, layered and linear in feel, with a texture that's mouthwatering. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2028. (JG)

The Wine Palate
The 2023 Chardonnay zips out of the glass with vibrant notes of fresh grapefruit, lemon tart, and lime blossoms, leading to hints of wet slate and blanched almonds with a touch of coriander seed. The medium-bodied palate is intense and racy with a silkiness to the texture and a zesty finish.

Decanter
Ripe and bold, with aromas of blackberries, plums, cassis, sweet spices and cedar. The palate is full-bodied with firm yet rounded tannins and balanced acidity, giving flavors of dark cherries, cocoa and tobacco. Generous and rich. Predominantly cabernet sauvignon. Drink or hold.

Vinous
The 2023 Chardonnay is a potent mountain Chardonnay endowed with tremendous phenolic structure and overall depth. Lemon peel, sage, mint, chamomile and dried flowers are front and center. Broad and imposing, with notable depth, the 2023 is a wine to cellar for at least a few years. Strong earthy and mineral inflections explode on the finish. The 2023 spent ten months in barrel prior to bottling, half in large-format oak. (AG)
