Critic Ratings
Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 92:
Lemon balm, baked apricot and macadamia nut aromas converge on the appealing nose of this bottling. There's a blast of acidity that cuts into the lightly salted core of pear, apple and citrus peel flavors, with a warm oak note carrying the finish.
Jeb Dunnuck Review - Rated 90:
Based on 100% Chardonnay, the 2023 Chardonnay Katherine's Vineyard offers ripe stone and orchard fruits intermixed with honeysuckle and subtle spice. It’s medium-bodied, plush, round, and supple. Fermentation was split between 30% stainless steel and 70% barrel, and the wine was then aged seven months in French oak, 20% of which was new. This is a well-made, ready-to-drink California Chardonnay that delivers terrific value. Drink 2025-2027.
Wine Spectator Review - Rated 90:
Shows remarkable seamlessness and complexity, with flavors of lemon blossoms, orange sherbet, papaya and marmalade. A fresh thread of acidity leaves a terrific impression on the finish, along with lemon verbena and fresh ginger notes that show a hint of marzipan.
