Staglin Family Vineyard 2018 Chardonnay

Wonderfully energetic and admirably concentrated, Staglin Chardonnay expresses an alluring citrus spectrum of ripe Lisbon and Meyer lemon that evolves to reveal delightful Bosc and Green Anjou pear notes with highlights of wintergreen and honeysuckle and mineralized by a pinch of Maldon salt and bow rosin. Simultaneously crystalline and creamy, this lissome wine delights from beginning to end.

Jeb Dunnuck - 94 Points: "Young and unevolved, the 2018 Chardonnay Estate offers fresh, lively bouquet of honeyed peach and lemon oil-like notes interwoven with plenty of toasted bread, spice, and white flowers. It’s clean, medium-bodied, and elegant on the palate, and it shows the supple, elegant, approachable style of the vintage nicely. It’s going to benefit from a year in bottle and should evolve nicely for 3-5 years. This estate continues to produce a brilliant, high-class Chardonnay well worth seeking out."

Wine Spectator - 90 Points: "Fine-textured, with minerally snap to the baked apple and pear tart flavors. Hints of white chocolate show midpalate, leading to a lusciously spiced finish. Drink now through 2023."
