Robert Parker (92)

The 2023 Chardonnay Avni has alluring aromas of quince, white peach, meringue, chamomile, beeswax and hazelnut. The medium-bodied palate has a satiny texture and expansive, honeyed flavors. Its generosity is balanced by mouthwatering acidity, and it has a long, textural finish.

James Suckling (92)

This is a very fresh and mineral chardonnay, offering delicious orchard fruit, lemon rind, raw almonds and flinty undertones, together with a very elegant touch of spice. Medium-bodied, very clean and pristine, with textural complexity on the palate, with a gentle phenolic grip to the long, sleek finish.

Vinous (92)

The 2023 Chardonnay Avni wafts up with an understated mix of chamomile and lime zest that complements green apples. Pretty inner sweetness is offset by sour citrus tones as silken textures soothe and ginger-infused orchard fruits swirl throughout. The finish is savory and long, leaving a pleasantly bitter tinge that keeps the mouth watering for more. Pretty and an amazing value.

Jeb Dunnuck (93)

The 2023 Chardonnay Avni has power and elegance. It’s an exceptional appellation-level Chardonnay, revealing notes of custard, lemon oils, fresh flowers, and ripe pear. It lingers on the palate, with medium to full-bodied richness, offering depth and refreshing lift, as well as notes of almond on the finish. Drink over the coming 7-8 years. This is one to snap up by the case. It saw 25% new French oak.
