Pretty damn Burgundian effort here. Sappy cherry fruit, almost cherry liqueur-like, forest floor, crushed rock, a little baking spice. Intense yet nearly weightless in the mouth. Tannin resolved, great acids. Surprisingly low alcohol (12.4%). Very nice. — 5 years ago

Though Piña Cellars is renowned for its powerful reds, this small-production Chardonnay from the Low Vineyard proves they know their way around white wines, too. Grown next to the famed Muir-Hanna Vineyard, the same fruit once used in Montelena’s legendary 1976 Paris Tasting Chardonnay, this wine is something truly special.
Quite different from the classic California butter-bomb, this bottling leans into elegance and precision. The nose opens with layers of honeysuckle, orchard fruits, brioche, and subtle spice. On the palate, white peach, apricot, and pear dance with delicate hints of hazelnut, all wrapped in a creamy, full-bodied texture.
Mouthfeel is plush and satiny, yet lifted by a refreshing acidity that keeps it vibrant through a long, graceful finish.
Still youthful, but showing beautifully now, this Chardonnay has the structure to age and evolve for years. A true showstopper, and a rare gem from a producer that usually flies under the Chardonnay radar. ✨🍐🥂 — 8 hours ago
