Notes from critics
We love this Chardonnay and all that's going on here. This is a full-bodied Chard with ripe pears and apples, hints of citrus, touches of honey, and bits of caramel. Fantastic!
96
The 2021 The Temptress Chardonnay, from Benovia Vineyard, features fragrant scents of juicy pears, honeysuckle, and allspice plus hints of cashews and honeycomb with a touch of lime blossom. The full-bodied palate is intense and multilayered, with a decadently creamy texture and amazing length.
94
Offers fleshy, lush and rich notes of vanilla pudding, mango puree and marmalade, with crunchy acidity and hints of salted butterscotch, Fuji apple and orange blossom that linger.
