Pouring a bright medium yellow/straw hue, the 2021 Chardonnay Chloe is highly expressive, with a golden perfume of pineapple, orange oil, and a bit of honeysuckle. It has full body and a rounded texture, with ripe apricot, hazelnut, and white flowers. A lusher personality to drink over the next ten years, it’s a bit more open at this youthful stage.

The 2021 Chardonnay Chloe is one of the more open-knit, voluptuous wines in this range. Soft, supple contours wrap around orange peel, butter and white flowers. Floral and sweet spice notes lend notable breadth on the finish. The Chloe is one of the first of these whites I would open. It is especially showy in this tasting. -- Antonio Galloni

Balanced to a T, this fascinating wine matches ripe and rich poached pear and golden apple flavors with a vein of lemony acidity that keeps it refreshing sip after sip. It's medium to full in body. Best through 2030. — Jim Gordon

The purity of fruit strikes you here with sliced apple, pineapple, and some peach. Medium to full body. Pointed finish. Some flint and steel undertones. Goes tight at the end. Tensioned. Give it a year or two to come around. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Chardonnay Chloe is scented of white peach, jasmine, meringue and toasted almonds with flinty streaks. The light-bodied palate has a gently grippy texture and refreshing acidity to balance its concentrated core of spicy stone fruit, and it has a long finish full of ripe fruit.

The nose on the 2021 Chardonnay Chloe already delivers fabulous complexity, with notes of orange blossom, cashews, baker's yeast, and honeycomb, opening out to a flamboyant core of apricots, honeydew melon, spiced apples, and juicy pears. The medium to full-bodied palate vibrates with impactful stone fruit and spicy flavors, framed by a racy backbone and a creaminess to the texture, finishing very long and opulent.
