Wine Advocate
The 2021 Chardonnay Portola Springs comes from east-facing vines planted in a ravine in 1982. A clean, bright nose of Meyer lemon, green apple skin and cashews leads to a medium-bodied palate and a lively, zesty finish with gripping acidity. The most electric and bracing of the Fogarty Chardonnays, lovers of citrus-focused wines should follow this for the next 7-8 years.

Vinous
The 2021 Chardonnay Portola Springs Vineyard is one of the most expressive Chardonnays in this range, and also a wine that brings together so many of the elements that are house signatures. Light tropical accents, white flowers, apricot and pastry grace this open-knit, inviting Chardonnay. Soft contours wrap it all together in style.

Wine Enthusiast
Toasted almond, gardenia and lightly buttered lemon toast aromas show on the nose of this bottling from a vineyard planted to Clone 4 in 1982. Sharp flavors of lemon zest and grapefruit peel meet with stony minerality on the soft palate.
