Status
“The 2018 Chardonnay, a tiny blend of just two barrels, is super-expressive and inviting. Rich and deep on the palate, the 2018 is wonderfully fleshy. White flowers, lemon confit, mint and a hint of tropical fruit embellish this striking Chardonnay from Zotovich.”
92 points, Antonio Galloni (Vinous, Aug. 2020)
“Brought up in one-third new French oak, the 2018 Chardonnay Estate sports a medium gold color as well as terrific notes of ripe orchard fruits, toasted bread, spiced citrus, and baking spices. It's medium-bodied, has terrific fruit, a balanced, textured mouthfeel, and a great finish.”
