94 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent): "The 2021 Freemark Abbey Napa Valley Chardonnay requires a little shaking to wake up vivacious notions of lemon drops, lime cordial, and fresh grapefruit, followed by wafts of orange blossoms and cedar. The full-bodied palate has a gorgeous creaminess to the texture, with loads of citrus and savory layers, finishing long and fragrant. Drink: 2023-2029. Alcohol 14.5%. (5/18/23)"
93 points & '#65 Top 100 Wines of 2023' Wine Enthusiast: "Tempting spicy, earthy, toasted oak aromas lead to densely layered pears, almonds, wood char and crème brûlée flavors that fill the palate and echo for minutes on the finish. The wine is full-bodied, almost thick in texture and powerful in flavor. (Oct 2023)"
Producer notes: "The 2021 Napa Valley Chardonnay is intended to be the best of both worlds stylistically. The nose opens with rich and layered aromas of pear, mandarin, tuberose, vanilla and oak spice. The palate is met with flavors of brioche, apple pie, lemon curd and fresh pineapple. It has a creamy texture reminiscent of crème brûlée with a finish that is bright and complex with incredible length."
