2024 Odonata Chardonnay Boekenoogan Vineyard, Santa Lucia Highlands

San Francisco Wine Panel 91+ Points

This tasty bargain Chardonnay is rich and attractively bright to the nose, where scents of fresh apple, peach and dried golden fig are made even richer by notes of nutmeg and lemon cream pie. It proves every bit as generous on the palate as hoped and is even zestier, with focused and lingering flavors that are a beautiful rendering of all that the aromas promise. If notably attractive right now, it will be more so in a another year and should easily hold its current charms for the next three years. 205 cases produced.
