Paul Lato 2023 “Done and Done” Chardonnay Rincon Vineyard, Arroyo Grande 97 Points

Paul Lato Notes: “This wine offers intriguing aromas of honeysuckle, apricot, and river rock. It will entice you with flavors of bright peach, honey, pear, and creamy marshmallow. This medium-bodied wine is balanced with good acidity—making it lovely on its own or perfect with food. The rich and delicious finish provides the perfect end to this delightful wine.” 

Jeb Dunnuck 97 Points: “The Done & Done Rincon Vineyard has gorgeous orchard fruits, pineapple, spicy oak, brioche, and honeyed white flower notes … full-bodied richness and depth on the palate… shines for its purity, richness, and overall balance, and it’s rare to find this level of richness paired with purity from the Central Coast. It’s an absolutely thrilling Chardonnay to enjoy over the coming 3-5 years.”

Vinous 97 Points: “The Paul Lato Chardonnay Rincon Vineyard Done & Done is gorgeous. Ample, sweeping and dramatic, this is a grand Chardonnay. Lemon confit, marzipan, sage, white flowers, chalk, and mint build effortlessly. All the elements are so beautifully balanced in a dramatic white that hits all the right notes. Sadly there are only four barrels to go around. This is a special wine. Don’t miss it!

FMW 97+ Points: “Leading off the Chardonnay, the 2023 Done & Done offers up gorgeous aromas of orchard and tropical fruits, with a hint of spice notes. The wine is intense, and full-bodied, yet elegant on this bold and rich palate. Amazing balance from start to finish, this might be the best Done & Done to date. “
