2013 Chardonnay Wine

Vinous, 94 points: The 2013 Chardonnay 3-D often displays a distinctly phenolic quality, and that is very much the case again in 2013. A vertical sense of structure and huge center of fruit are two of the signatures. Scents of apricot pit...

Vinous, 93 points: The 2013 Chardonnay offers a super-intriguing interplay of the vivid, crystalline purity that is such a signature of the appellation, along with soft contours that give the wine much of its welcoming personality. Scents...

Vinous, 94 points: (AG92-94 points) Orange peel, smoke, spices, mint and apricot pit flesh out in the 2013 Chardonnay Camp Meeting Ridge Vineyard. Bold and textured in its flavors but classically mid-weight in style, the 2013 captures a...

Vinous, 94 points: The 2013 Chardonnay Vanguard is absolutely gorgeous. Candied lemon peel, butter, pastry, mint and spice open up first, followed by a slight tropical note that adds nuance, texture and oiliness. The 90% new French oak...

Vinous, 94 points: The 2013 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard is one of the most expressive and complete wines in David Ramey's range. Apricot, peach, smoke, crushed rocks and dried herbs all blossom in the glass. The Woolsey captures a...

Wine Enthusiast, 90 points: Unusually dry and crisp, this gives up tangy green apple, kiwi and lemon flavors backed by electric acidity, rather light body and a touch of enervating astringency that's unusual in a white wine. Fresh oysters, please.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The 2013 Chardonnay Chloe, which comes from two great vineyard sources, the Ritchie and Lorenzo, was treated similarly in terms of its aging 12 months on its lees, then four months in tank. Good acidity buttresses a...

Vinous, 93 points: The 2013 Chardonnay Mt. Carmel Vineyard is above all else a wine of notable texture and finesse. White orchard fruit, peach and a hint of spice are all given an extra kick of brightness that serves to balance the wine's...

Vinous, 90 points: Lemon oil, white flowers and almonds are laced together in the 2013 Chardonnay, a wine that emphasizes citrus-inflected nuances. Aging on lees adds texture, but the block malo style emphasizes freshness, which results in...
