Tasting Panel, 92 Points

“Aged sur-lie for eight months in 20% French oak, the iconic flavor profile shows a world-class Chardonnay profile. Creamy and toasty, the richness is reined in by its bright acidity. Kiwi, pineapple, and gardenia effortlessly show a tropical character, with Key lime and vanilla on the finish.”

James Suckling, 91 Points

“Aromas of dried pineapple, spiced apple, lemon curd, flint and praline. Its full-bodied with crisp acidity. Concentrated and flavorful. Drink or hold.”

Winemaker Notes:

“The 2019 Schug Carneros Chardonnay is a wine that is both rich and powerful, while refreshing and elegant on the finish. It has a ripe, spicy tropical bouquet with flavors that suggest citrus, pear and spiced apples. Well-balanced acidity gives it a crisp, clean finish, making it an excellent wine with food.”
