2023 Matanzas Creek Chardonnay, Alexander Valley RATING JG 95 a velvety texture91 Points Jeb Dunnuck: The 2023 Chardonnay Alexander Valley was fermented in French oak for 10 months, with 15% new. The nose brings forward balanced intensity and is lifted in the glass with aromas of honeyed citrus, lemon curd, vanilla, poached pear, and fresh, delicate notes of honeysuckle. Floating on the palate with a medium bodied feel and a lovely, rounded texture, it has a suggestion of being full but stays light on its feet.
