2021 Bravium Anderson Valley Chardonnay

92 Points from Wine & Spirits: "There’s brisk coastal freshness to this wine, as if capturing the Pacific wines in cool, honeyed pear flavors. And while there’s also a showy oak note of nutmeg spice, it leaves my mouth feeling fresh. It’s a gracious and simple white for sand dabs." (10/23)

90 Points from Jeb Dunnuck: "Dense aromas of pear, green apple, and peach play around a floral dash of honeysuckle in the 2021 Chardonnay, which is medium-bodied, nicely textured, and well-made. Creamy, it finishes fresh and just slightly salty in nature. Drink over the next 7-10 years." (2/21/25)

From Wine Spectator: "Pear, tangerine and lime flavors mingle with lemon verbena and ginger notes on a firm and juicy frame. There's plenty of focus on the finish. Drink now. 960 cases made." (3/31/25)

From Decanter: "This Chardonnay comes from the estate Valley Foothills Vineyard in the Valley's Deep End but shows ample ripeness at 14.2%. A combination of three different Dijon clones, it really leans into the aromatics. Rich baked apple tart, lemon meringue and a touch of citrus twist. The palate is creamy with intense lemon curd and fresh notes of sorrel, finishing with plenty of crushed stone." (9/21/24)
