2023 Catharine’s Chardonnay 2023

Lots of ripe fruit and no shortage of wood with a drying sensation on the palate. Lacks a bit of verve and extension, also elasticity. That said there is flesh and pulpiness to this substantial chardonnay. Drink 2024-2026. Tasted blind at NWAC 24, June 2024. (David Lawrason,winealign.com,June 2025)
