Cattleya Chardonnay The Temptress 2020
Details
97 Points | CWA
“Sampling this dreamy new white wine is reminiscent of our Chardonnay ‘first loves’ crafted by Pahlmeyer or Chateau Boswell years ago! The opulent bouquet boasts honeysuckle and jasmine aromas then leads to notes of refreshing citrus oil, mandarin orange peel, and peach blossoms plus Tahitian vanilla and butterscotch on the alluring finish. The palate is pure joy to drink now through 2030. Bravo.” - California Wine Advisors
Winemaker Notes
“Unquestionably Californian with notes of ripe pear, lemon peel, brioche, and white flower blossoms bursting from the glass, this wine strikes a unique balance with its old-world counterparts as it showcases restraint on the palate through distinct mineral driven notes and flavors of lemon curd, crushed red apple, and almond skin. The finish presents an immensely textured mouthfeel backed by a pillar of vibrant, youthful acidity.” - Bibiana González Rave
