Notes | |||
"Panthera Chardonnay showcases the dynamism and energy of the Russian River Valley as this wine displays both a vibrant aspect of fruit and a confident oak profile. This wine presents beautiful layers of stone fruit married with bright Asian pear, which lead to luscious notes of lemon curd developed from malolactic fermentation. The deft baseline of toasted oak introduces notes of buttered French toast and hints of crème brûlée, which are complemented by a signature backbone of acidity nurtured on the Sonoma Coast." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Sweet chamomile, honeysuckle and peach on the nose. Full-bodied. Stony on the palate. Pleasantly bitter towards the end with some brown butter, too. Good complexity and balance. Drink now." —James Suckling "From the Russian River Valley, the 2019 Chardonnay Panthera offers a vibrant, up-front bouquet of ripe peach, melon, honeysuckle, and spicy oak. It's rich, medium-bodied, has plenty of fruit and texture, and outstanding length." —Jeb Dunnuck "This is a hearty, rich wine in style, with luscious flavors of baked apple, pear and pineapple. The oak is generous and spiced in nutmeg, with a touch of vanilla and caramel." —Wine Enthusiast |
