Wine reviews

January 2021

More caramelized peach, white flowers, spicy wood, and a touch of rocky minerality emerge from the 2018 Chardonnay Beckstoffer Lake Vineyard. This is downright classy on the palate, with medium-bodied richness, a beautifully layered, elegant texture, and nicely integrated acidity. A classic Carneros Chardonnay, it can be enjoyed any time over the coming 4-6 years, if not slightly longer. – JD
