Dragonette 2019 Chardonnay “Duvarita” 95+Points

Robert Parker 95+ Points; “The 2019 Chardonnay Duvarita Vineyard is pure and energetic, with scents of lemon juice, oyster shell, toast and spiced apples. The palate is energetic and minerally, with a rounded texture and hints of savory character on the finish waiting to emerge after more time in bottle.”

Vinous 95 Points: “The 2019 Chardonnay Duvarita Vineyard is transparent, nuanced and so exceptionally vivid. Apricot, tangerine oil, white flowers, mint, crushed rocks and white flowers are all finely sculpted. The 2019 dazzles with its saline, infused minerality, tension and outstanding balance.”

Winery Notes: “In addition to fantastic Pinot Noir, the biodynamic Duvarita Vineyard grows intense yet balanced Chardonnay from its gentle slopes of sandy soils further down the hill. Wines here are medium bodied and elegant, with a stony minerality and a remarkable depth of flavor. These wines evolve slowly and will absolutely repay bottle aging (under appropriate storage conditions). 200 cases produced
