93-95 Joe Czerwinski - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Although very similar in profile to the excellent 2022 version, Perchance's 2023 Chardonnay Beckstoffer Carneros Lake Vineyard (tasted as a barrel sample) is also a touch cooler, with an almost menthol-like note to its pear, melon and toasted hazelnut aromas. Medium to full-bodied, it shows remarkable poise and balance, with just a hint of positive reduction on the long, citrusy finish.
