White Walnut Vineyard Chardonnay 2023 Tan Fruit

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (94)

The 2023 Chardonnay White Walnut Vineyard has singular aromas of papaya, grapefruit, lemongrass, panna cotta and flint, revealing additional nuances as it airs in the glass. The light-bodied palate has a satiny texture and expansive, savory flavors. It’s balanced by vibrant acidity and has a very long finish. It will benefit from time in the cellar.

James Suckling (97)

Very dynamic and complex, with nervy acidity and a sleek, textured profile. Steely and mineral-driven in a Chablis-like style, this offers crushed lemons, white peaches and cracked stones, with fresh acidity and a refined, linear structure. The finish is long, focused and full of energy. Drink or hold.

Vinous (94)

The 2023 Chardonnay White Walnut Vineyard is dusty and floral, presenting an airy blend of white peaches, nuances of flint, white smoke and dried herbs. Silken yet racy, it reveals depths of ripe pit fruits and lemony citrus tones elevated by a stimulating core of acidity. Wickedly fresh and long, it pinches at the cheeks with tension as a hint of sour melon mingles with a salty flourish. Total pleasure to taste.
