2021 Luke Columbia Valley Chardonnay
Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2023
“The 2021 Chardonnay is more savory than sweet in the best possible way, as flinty crushed rocks give way to dried peaches and apricots. It soothes with its silken textures and ripe orchard fruits, coming across as seamless as mineral-tinged with juicy acidity adding further contrast toward the close. This tapers off remarkably fresh, buzzing with residual tension and energy as a note of floral-laced peach lingers on. This is a total pleasure to taste.”
