Wine Enthusiast
This Chardonnay packs bags of flavor yet maintains a light, delicate nature through and through. Initial aromas speak of wet-stone minerality, lemon, lime, kiwi and star fruit, alongside a lily-of-the-valley floral note. The palate adds to those layers with tones of white peach, lime leaf and lemongrass. Sinewy acidity rides a firm, lean line through the center of this medium-bodied white. The finish lingers and begs for another sip.

A bright silver-yellow color, the 2021 Chardonnay Anderson Valley opens to aromas of citrus pith, quince, yellow apple, and delicate baking spices. Medium-bodied, it's supple and approachable now, with a lovely rounded midpalate and a clean finish. (AF)

Wine Advocate
The 2021 Chardonnay Anderson Valley, formerly bottled as Alesia, is a more weighty, exotic offering than its Santa Cruz Mountains counterpart. Aromas of ripe orchard and stone fruits with citrus zest dominate the nose, leading to a tender, pleasant and robust palate. Clean, vibrant and balanced on the finish, this is ready to be enjoyed now but will surely do well in the cellar. (ML)

Wine Spectator
Shows wonderful transparency and energy, offering juicy and vibrant flavors of lemon zest, Honeycrisp apple and tangerine, with jasmine tea, lemon balm and orange blossom hints.
