This shows peach, green apple and herb aromas, with an emphasis on stone fruit. The palate is medium-to full-bodied with a round, pleasant texture and a clean, uncomplicated finish. It carries a subtle tension that adds freshness. — James Suckling, May 2025
Aromas of white flowers, golden apples and pastry cream introduce the 2024 Chardonnay, which displays a lush palate with sweet fruit flavors and a refreshing touch of acidity. It concludes with a succulent, balanced finish rendered with admirable precision. — Wine Advocate, May 2025
