Chardonnay Tank Fruit 2023 Tan Fruit

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (94)

The 2023 Chardonnay Tank Fruit comes from vines in the Maresh Vineyard planted in 1991. It was matured for one year in stainless steel, plus an additional six months in barrel. It has pretty aromas of white peach, apricot, panna cotta, roasted almonds and floral perfume. The light-bodied palate has a silky texture and understated, saline-laced flavors. Racy acidity lures you in for another sip, and it has a long, succulent finish.

James Suckling (96)

A highly expressive and bright expression, showing dried citrus, spiced pears and a touch of white flowers. The palate is mouth-filling yet nervy, driven by crunchy acidity and a firm mineral core. Taut and focused, with energy and precision throughout. 100% Maresh Vineyard Dijon clone, planted in 1991. Drink or hold.

Vinous (93)

The 2023 Chardonnay Tank Fruit entices with a bouquet of lemon oil, sage-laced green apples and mint. Racy in feel, it opens with a slaty twang that invigorates the palate as ripe pit fruits swirl beneath an air of pretty inner florals. A hint of sour lime puckers the cheeks, while a saline concentration lingers through the wickedly fresh yet long finale.
