The 2023 Hudson Chardonnay erupts in a mélange of yellow floral and savory soil-driven elements that emanate from this classic Carneros site. The wine is replete with complex notes of sweet alyssum, beeswax, and apple oil. Texturally, the wine is long and satin, with a luscious blend of white peach, marmalade, and wildflower honey offset by slaty mineral tones. Deep, concentrated stone fruit richness is countered by a fine bead of mouthwatering acidity that creates compelling structural tension. A wine of incredible breadth, the 2023 Hudson Chardonnay is absolutely enveloping and promises a long life in the cellar.
Hudson Vineyards Description
Hudson Ranch lies in Napa Valley’s Carneros District, one of the finest winegrowing regions in the world. The cooling breezes off the Bay of San Francisco allow the grapes a longer hang time in which to develop flavor and intensity, without sacrificing acidity and true balance.
For forty years Hudson has foraged heritage selections of chardonnay from historic vineyards throughout California. These carefully chosen selections have been propagated on our ranch in an effort to honor diversity. We prize these grapes for their intense mineralogy and distinctive flavor. We feel our wines represent the most honest representation of our site, intent and endeavor.
James Suckling: 93 Points
Generous ripe fruit like pears and golden apples resting on a relaxed, rich texture. This wine is gentle, almost sweet tasting, with Bartlett pears, vanilla bean, creme brulee and white chocolate on the palate. Drink now.
