Oak Knoll District Chardonnay 2024

This is a very elegant Chardonnay from Oak Knoll District in Napa Valley. Very tasty and easy drinking, without the oaky Chardonnay feel.

Nicely balanced and complex, but doesn't show like a Napa Chardonnay.

Wine Enthusiasts 91 points.

Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

I had the 2023 vintage not too long ago, and this vintage is drinking better.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

100% Chardonnay grapes were aged in (9% new) French Oak barrels for 9 months.

12.8% alcohol by volume.

06/19/26 - Was quite pale for a Chardonnay. Had sweet notes, hay and green apple. Taste was surprising with light oak but a jammy sweetness to it. M thought apple butter and S thought sweet butter. — 5 months ago

Kumeu River

Estate Chardonnay 2020

Astonishing quality for their regular Estate bottling - not their individual vineyard Cuvées like Mates etc. Toasty, nutty (oak derived) notes along with yellow peach. M+ intensity on the palate. Not for long keeping but a great drink right now. — 3 years ago

Leeuwin Estate

Art Series Margaret River Chardonnay 2019

Pale lemon in colour - crystal clear. Probably drinking this a little young even at 7 years of age. Initial funky notes amongst the nutty notes. At 7 years the oak is assimilating with the peach. Great intensity as you come to expect from the Art Series. At least another 5 plus years in the cellar would not be a problem. — 6 days ago

@Kapyrick Wine My first of 3. Will be interesting to see how the remaining 2 bottles develop over the next few years.

They will be fantastic. The true test will be your tolerance for aged chardonnay. Leeuwin is a great producer, and the Art Series wines are fantastic. I have only enjoyed at a 10 year max, because I was worried they would go bad, but they would have been good longer at my tolerance . Enjoy!!!!!!!!

@Kapyrick Wine I have been drinking this Cuvée for many years now and we often have tastings to judge the best Australian Chardonnay. Giaconda and Bindi Quartz block are also in the mix. A few months ago I had my last 2013 Art Series and it was stellar.

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2016

#AgedWineTuesday

Golden in color.

Strong nose of citrus, yellow apples, light pineapples, spices, light cedar, earth, herbs and white pepper.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with limes, light grapefruits, spices, light oak, earth and herbs.

Long finish with limes and almonds.

This delicious 10 years old Chardonnay from Napa Valley is still drinking beautifully. Very complex, elegant and nicely balanced.

Still showing enough fruits to balance the earth notes. Nicely aged, and will not get better from this point on.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 20 minutes of airtime.

It's always nice to try these kind of aged wines. Good by itself as a sipping and with food.
