Ma Jolie Peake Ranch Vineyard 2021 Paul Lato

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (94)

The 2021 Chardonnay Ma Jolie Peake Ranch Vineyard underwent full malolactic conversion and was matured for 16 months in 50% new French oak. The nose opens with soft flinty streaks, dried hay and beeswax that complement a core of white peach. The medium-bodied palate explodes with concentrated, peachy fruit. It has a luxurious, satiny texture and a very long finish streaked with flint and spice. Just 94 cases were made.

Vinous (93)

The 2021 Chardonnay Ma Jolie Peake Ranch is bright, focused and tightly wound. Orchard fruit, mint, lime and white pepper lend notable brilliance throughout. This is another wine in the range that points towards a more energetic, vibrant style than in the past.
