2022 Stags' Leap Winery Napa Valley Chardonnay

93 Points - James Suckling:

"Mandarin orange, yellow pear and acacia followed by almonds and sour cream with baking spices and salted caramel. Medium-bodied with bright refreshing acidity. Pleasing freshness and balance to it. Aged in 25% new French oak barrels. Drink or hold."

90 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:

"The 2022 Chardonnay is outstanding, with vibrant green apple, citrus, and minty herb notes in its medium-bodied, clean, crisp, nicely balanced profile. Brought up in 25% new oak, it should drink nicely for 3-4 years, if not longer."

90 Points - The Wine Independent:

"The 2022 Chardonnay opens with uncomplicated scents of yellow apples, fresh pears, and baking bread leading to touches of honeysuckle and struck flint. The medium-bodied palate has lovely purity, with plenty of apple and pear flavors and a lively line, finishing chalky." -Lisa Perrotti-Brown

2022 Etude "Grace Benoist Ranch" Carneros Napa Valley Chardonnay

No malolactic fermentation and neutral French oak = crisp, racy style like Chateau Montelena!

94 Points - James Suckling:

"Flinty with lightly dried apple and hints of white blossom and minerals. Medium to full body that sneaks up on your palate, starting off minerally and then finishes with a round texture and the richness of light cream and yoghurt. Lovely layers here. No malolactic. Drink now or hold."

92 Points - Vinous:

"The 2022 Chardonnay Grace Benoist Ranch is a blend of three different blocks and six clones. It offers good depth in its citrus peel, mineral and savory undertones. Blocked malolactic fermentation keeps the flavors bright. There's good depth and plenty of complexity."
