Jeb Dunnuck: 96 Points

A Central Russian River Blend the 2022 Chardonnay Chloe is a bright yellow hue and captures a wide spectrum of citrus with notes of orange Meyer lemon fresh pineapple toasted spice and a hint of almond through the mid-palate as well as a nice lift of citrus on the finish. It?s a beautiful wine offering a richer tone through the range. Drink 2024-2034.

James Suckling: 95 Points

Lemongrass sage and apples with some pastry dough and flint. Medium-bodied with a pretty core of fruit and hints of minerals flint and spices such as peppercorns and cloves. Drink it now.

The Wine Independent: 95 Points

The 2022 Chardonnay Chloe hops from the glass with exuberant notes of white peaches fresh pears and yellow apples opening out to nuances of honeysuckle and ginger tea. The medium-bodied palate has great tension and intensity with layers of orchard fruit flavors and a long ginger-laced finish. The first vintage of Chloe was 2000. This year the blend is 30% Flora Marie Vineyard 40% Bressay and 30% El Diablo.

The 2022 Chardonnay Chloe comes from three vineyards: Flora Marie (30%) El Diablo (30%) and Dumol's Bressay Estate Vineyard (40%). Grapes were harvested August 12 18 and 26. It has heady enveloping scents of peach quince lemongrass and jasmine plus touches of toast and spice. The palate is silky and mouthwatering and features layer after layer of perfumed fruit that lingers in the mouth long after the wine has gone. 1200 cases were made.
