The 2023 Chardonnay Chloe prances out with showy scents of spiced pears, juicy peaches, and lemon butter, plus suggestions of spice cake and orange blossoms. The medium to full-bodied palate features electric tension with a satiny texture and lots of stone fruit layers, finishing long with a citrusy lift.

(94-96 points) The 2023 Chardonnay Chloe is a blend of fruit from Flora Marie and Bressay. It presents a distinctly tropical fruit profile to match its textured, opulent personality. There's plenty of brightness and acid to play off its more overt qualities. Readers who like richer wines (within this context) will find much to admire. Peach, apricot, chamomile and lightly honeyed notes extend the finish. - By Antonio Galloni, January 2025

This shows nicely the richness and pure fruit flavors of the Russian River Valley, yet it’s balanced by good, vibrant acidity. So plush and mouth-filling, broad and rather ripe, offering golden apples, baked pears and tempting pastry shop spices. Drink now. Jim Gordon Executive Editor

The 2023 Chardonnay Chloe is from the Flora Marrie Vineyard on Eastside Road, on volcanic red clay, gravelly soils on a plateau bench, and the rest is from behind the vineyard house on clay and sand. One of the richer wines in the range, it’s ripe but also savory on the nose, with golden peach, toasted incense, hints of toasted spice, and savory underpinnings. The palate is full and has some added depth of structure, with elegant length. Drink 2025-2035.

The 2023 Chardonnay Chloe comes from the Dumol Bressay Estate and Flora Marie vineyards. Grapes were harvested September 11, 13 and 30, and the wine was matured for 11 months in 26% new French Damy barrels, followed by six months in tank. Initial wafts of candle smoke, flint and crème brûlée give way to green melon, panna cotta and spring honey aromas. The full-bodied palate is bursting with fragrant flavors, and its new oak is seamlessly integrated. Silky in texture, its generosity is foiled by bright acidity, and it has a long, layered finish. 1,450 cases were made.-EB

This bright and intense Chard delivers waves of zesty Meyer lemon, white flowers and nectarine on the nose, followed by a beautifully textured palate with flavors of Ranier cherry, pineapple sage, pithy lemon-lime and flowers. Drink this with halibut en croute, or Dungeness crab. — Tom R. Capo

Fresh pineapple, pear and apricot flavors are supple and aromatic, with a vibrant thread of acidity. Orange blossom, kumquat and tangerine notes sing on the finish, where details of candied ginger and burnt sugar linger. Drink now. 1,450 cases made.
