What experts say about this wine

Jeb Dunnuck

Taking on dark mineral tones, the 2021 Chardonnay Platt Chardonnay is outstanding. Notes of crushed stone, white flowers, and wild mint are followed by a medium-bodied white with a fantastic core of concentration, suspended tension, and mineral persistence, with saline sea spray, ripe Meyer lemon, and green apple. I absolutely love this for its purity and balance. It has a lot of longevity ahead of it and is lot of wine for this price. Drink 2024-2036.
