Novellum Chardonnay 2023

Warm and round, with good energy. Orchard fruit and green plum notes are flanked by crushed stone and smoky mineral accents, plus well-integrated toasty details. Savory grilled herb hints echo on the well-meshed finish. Broad and nicely rich. Drink now. Best Values. Score – 89. (Kristen Bieler, winespectator.com, Dec. 31, 2024)
