Trio of Chardonnay

The industry-leading publication Wine Spectator recently named Domaine Anderson Winemaker Darrin Low one of 10 “Chardonnay Stars.” Senior Editor MaryAnn Worobiec cited Low's longtime commitment to setting and maintaining high standards in his winemaking program for including him in this elite selection of winemakers: "I focused on a group that despite their talent and track records of outstanding scores are in my estimation flying under the radar and deserve more attention."

Wines in this trio of stunning Chardonnays:

2021 Dach Vineyard Chardonnay
93 Points
"Stands out for its vibrancy, freshness and intensity of flavor, with lemon sherbet, pomelo, yuzu and pear flavors wrapped around a persistent laser beam of acidity, which finds elegance on the finish, where notes of freshly grated ginger, lemon balm, green apple and almond skin meet a touch of crunchy sea salt on the finish."

2021 Walraven Chardonnay
92 Points
"Shows vibrant and expressive flavors of lemon curd, yuzu and ripe pear, offering notes of white flowers, sesame seed, green apple and lemon thyme on a sleek and juicy frame, with plenty of intensity on the long finish."

2021 Estate Chardonnay
91 Points
"With sleek notes of lemon, pear and yuzu alongside racy acidity, this pops out of the glass, finding wonderful harmony with the grace notes of white pepper and vanilla custard, plus a hint of salted butter shortbread on the finish."
