Robert Parker Score: 96+ points

Reviewer: Erin Larkin — July 2023 Week 113 Mar 2025

Drink 2025–2041

The 2016 Art Series Chardonnay is persistent and long, quite subdued at this stage in its evolution. I recall this wine being more rambunctious than it is showing today. Explosive power of acidity and phenolic presence through the finish remain its calling card, and the trail of fruit in its wake is enduringly impressive. If anything, the oak is showing more today than I recall, evident in the open-weave texture that feathers the finish. Sealed under screw cap.
