2019 El Molino Rutherford Napa Chardonnay

The fact that we make Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a vineyard in Rutherford is a bit of a tough story…We’re not going to make a lot of wine. We were going to make wine that could stand with the best wines in the world. That was very much what I think we’re doing, and what I hope we are doing. El Molino owner, Lily Berlin. WINE SPECTATOR by MaryAnn Morobiec in 2022, Score 93: Presents an impressive beam of purity, a generous core of juicy tangerine, green apple and lemon curd as well as a vibrant acidity that keeps the flavors wonderfully in focus. Reveals an appealing fleshy quality in the body, with hints of jasmine, spice and sea salt on the long, generous finish. Drink now through 2032
