Reviewed June 2023Very open and expressive with apple pie, stone, bacon fat, aniseed, and lemon rind. Full-bodied and really flavorful with pie crust and a flavorful finish. Serious. Cellar worthy. Drink or hold.

The Wine Independent
The 2021 Ross Station Estate Chardonnay comes from Hudson, Wente, and Mt Eden clones. It tumbles from the glass with forthcoming scents of honey-drizzled peaches, fresh pineapple, and Granny Smith apples, plus suggestions of lime leaves, chalk dust, and lemon drops with a hint of yuzu zest. The medium to full-bodied palate is so, so silky, delivering layers of citrus and peach-inspired flavors with toasty accents, leading to a long, chalky finish on this beautiful wine. (LPB)

The 2021 Chardonnay Ross Station Estate is beautiful, offering delicate aromas of fresh lime, bright green apple, and white flowers. It has a soft, silky texture and good freshness in its notes of poached pear, and the long finish reveals a perfume that hangs on after the wine is gone. A beautiful, elegant white, it has just a touch of hazelnut and a pithy texture on the finish, with a hint of chamomile, all while displaying good concentration with power. Drink this over the next 10 years. (AF)

Vinous
The 2021 Chardonnay Ross Station Estate is a gorgeous, complex wine. Hints of tangerine oil, mango, apricot and sweet spice open nicely. The Ross Station is distinguished by its mix of intense, overt flavors and mid-weight structure. That interplay is quite compelling here. (AG)
