Wine Enthusiast 95 – the top Lewis Chardonnay (including Reserves) ever:
Spicy, toasty oak stands up well to the rich, honeyed pear and pineapple flavors in this full-bodied wine, balancing it well, and giving it great depth and length. This is an excellent choice for fans of big Chardonnay, as it is packed with baking spices, coconut, poached pears and vanilla that are practically irresistible.
Best ever for Dunnuck, too:
In addition to brilliant reds, this estate also makes a great white. Their 2021 Chardonnay Napa Valley offers a plush, up-front, medium-bodied style as well as terrific gold apple-like fruit, spicy, oaky, toasty background notes, terrific balance, and a clear, classy finish. This rich, powerful Chardonnay is perfect for drinking over the coming 2-4 years.
And best ever for the Wine Advocate, too:
Like the red wines here, the 2021 Chardonnay is big and flavorful. Boasting scents of spicy oak, Barlett pear and grilled pineapple, it's medium to full-bodied, ripe and succulent but crisp at the same time, with wet stone and bright citrus notes on the finish.
