Amphitheater Chardonnay contains multitudes, with variations on citrus to begin: lemon meringue, sorbet, orange blossom. Floral qualities following that lead: jasmine and freesia. Juicy on the palate, but wonderfully chalky and slatey, without losing its irresistible fruit.

Critical Acclaim

“From a vineyard planted in 1981, the 2023 Chardonnay Estate Spring Ridge Vineyard Amphitheater Block is a relatively rich and layered wine, sultry in golden honeycomb and apricot. Full-bodied, its unctuous mouthfeel provides a generous mid-palate of toasted oak and baking spice that leads to a crisp, clean, and focused finish. Enjoy now through 2033.” (4/1/25)

“Lean yet with enough fruit to add flesh, with scrubby herbs and a phenolic presence that brings impressive structure. Full malolactic doesn’t dominate yet adds breadth to the citrus and persimmon flavors. Drink or hold.” (7/11/25)
