Bouchaine Chardonnay Carneros Estate 2019

92 points Wine Enthusiast: "Mouth-filling fruit and spice flavors are well matched by vibrant acidity in this ripe but racy wine. Lemons, green apples and hints of butter and toast create complexity while retaining a refreshing, appetizing quality. (Dec 2022)"

92 points James Suckling: "Ripe apricots, golden apples, cloves, hawthorn, flint and smoked almonds on the nose. It’s full-bodied with bright acidity. Phenolic and layered. Excellent freshness and concentration. Drink now or hold. (12/5/21)"

91 points Wine Spectator: "[$36 list] Lip-smacking, with juicy and generous lemon curd, tangerine and Key lime pie flavors, backed by fleshy ripe melon and lemon blossom accents that show a touch of brioche and sea salt on the finish. Drink now. (7/31/22)"

91 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent): "The 2019 Estate Chardonnay features hints of struck match and wet pebbles to begin over a core of Granny Smith apples and Bosc pears with a waft of lime leaves. Medium-bodied, clean, fresh, and zippy in the mouth, it has plenty of citrus fruit and a steely zip on the finish. Drink: 2022-2029. (Jun 2022)"
