Brittan Vineyards Estate Chardonnay 2023

Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Enthusiast (93): Why even bother to resist an aromatic set featuring green apples, cinnamon and butter? This estate wine smells like a wonderful apple tart. Things get tangy on the palate, as lemon and Golden Delicious apple flavors collide with ginger and thyme. The wine's brisk acidity is the lemon on top.

Robert Parker The Wine Advocate (97): When to drink: 2025 to 2040.

Wine Enthusiast (94): This regal wine is a floral treasure trove of hyacinth, freesia and daylilies, joined by notes of lemon gelato, lemon verbena, thyme and melon. Honeycomb, cinnamon, lemon and melon flavors are downright juicy, with plenty of acidity to back them up. This is a joy to sip.

Owen Bargreen (94): The outstanding 2021 Brittan Vineyards Chardonnay comes from their estate vineyard in the McMinnville AVA. This comes off wonderfully stony with wet rock character alongside yellow plum, mango and shades of Pink Lady apple on the palate. Really good now, showing good length, weight and underlying tension, enjoy over the next eight to ten years.
