It's been ten years since we last reviewed this wine, November of 2016, and we rated it a nice 91 points; thoroughly enjoyed it.
While we were excited to try this latest vintage, Costco's price has gone up quite a bit since that last post.
Ten years ago we found this bottle for $25.99 with $5 off, so landing at Costco for a final price of $19.99 which is a score. Costco's price is now $33.99, exactly the same as Total Wine, and just a hair below the $36 retail.
Regardless, if you love this wine like we do, it's worth it. And the 2024 vintage is remarkably delicious. As we noted in our prior review, it's all about the balance, and this one does it just right.
Grapes too are coming from some of the top Napa appellations: Atlas Peak, Carneros, Coombsville, and Oak Knoll. Hard to wrong with that group of friends.
Citrus fruit, floral on the nose; packed with flavors of white peach, lime, melon with notes of honeysuckle; medium in body, good acidity; light vanilla and oak into the lasting finish.
What a fantastic wine once again; not an inexpensive Chardonnay, but one that gives you your money's worth. 91 points from us, and a spot on our Top Picks list.
