Aromatically the wine is heavily perfumed with bright, almost candied citrus flavors and a balancing, spicy green note. On the palate the wine is floral with a combination of sweet citrus and orchard fruits, alongside a lingering textured finish.

The 2018 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard W Block is laced with hints of apricot and tangerine oil, with a kick more tropical overtones that develop over time. Ample and creamy, with lovely depth, the 2018 is quite seductive, especially in the early going. A pretty, exotic flourish rounds things out nicely. - 92 - Antonio Galloni - Vinous Media
