Tasting Notes

This 2024 KARIA Chardonnay opens with white peach, lemon-lime zest, honeydew melon, pear, apple, delicate florals, crème brûlée, clove, vanilla, preserved lemon, salted nuts, and orchard fruit. The palate is medium-bodied, velvety, and balanced, with vibrant citrus, honeysuckle, mineral lift, crisp acidity, subtle oak, and a graceful lingering finish.

Food Paring

Pair this graceful Napa Chardonnay with roasted chicken, seared scallops, crab cakes, prawns, or rich fish to complement its citrus brightness, creamy texture, and subtle oak spice. It also works beautifully with creamy pasta, risotto, soft cheeses, and fruit-forward salads when you want an elegant white with freshness and polish.

Professional Reviews

93 Vinous

"The 2024 Chardonnay Karia is heady and racy from start to finish. Lemon confit, tangerine oil, marzipan and white flowers are beautifully laced together. The Karia offers a striking mix of vintage 2024 richness tempered by partially blocked malolactic fermentation."

92 James Suckling

"Aromas of preserved lemons, salted nuts, sea spray, baking spices and orchard fruit. The midweight palate has a phenolic, slightly cloying mouthfeel, balanced with taut acidity."
