Score 93/100 · Drink 2019-2027, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2019
The 2017 Chardonnay Watson Ranch is a gorgeous wine. Apricot, chamomile, dried flowers, sage and dried pear are all laced together in this super-expressive, inviting Chardonnay. Readers should be prepared to cellar the 2017, as it is quite closed today. Bright saline notes add freshness and zip to this super-expressive Chardonnay.

Light and lively from an American Canyon site described as ‘wind whipped’. A little astringent but with good concentration.Pretty intense and very very different from the Napa Chardonnay norm. But not Burgundian in style. With its lemon and lime, it’s almost more like a Sauvignon. (JR)
