Patria Charlie Smith Vineyard Moon Mountain Chardonnay 2022 (750ML)

95 Points, Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "From the Sonoma side of the Mayacamas, Patria's 2022 Chardonnay Charlie Smith Vineyard boasts scents of toasted cashews, ripe peaches and crushed pineapple. It's medium- to full-bodied in the mouth, round yet still structured, finishing vibrant, tight and long. While Patria and winemaker Tony Biagi are best known for their red wines, don't sleep on this impressive Chardonnay." 06/25

96 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "A flinty and compact chard with hazelnuts, peanuts and apple tart, as well as citrus. Medium-bodied, tight and crisp with a vanilla undertone. Solid and exciting. Drink now." 02/24

94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "From a site in the Moon Mountain AVA, the 2022 Chardonnay Charlie Smith Vineyard comes from old Wente Clone and spent 15 months in 38% new oak. Rocking amounts of honeyed citrus, sappy flower, chalky minerality, and some salty, sea breeze-like nuances all emerge on the nose, and it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, a vibrant, racy, yet concentrated mouthfeel, and a mineral-drenched finish. It's another beautiful Chardonnay in the vintage." 01/25
