Raen Lady Marjorie Chardonnay 2021 (750ML)

97 JS / 94 JD / 93 VM

Aromas of dried pineapple, cooked apple, white peach, flint and white peach skin. Full-bodied and very structured, with a quartz, rock and stone character and phenolic, chewy mouthfeel. White flowers at the end. New wine honoring Carlo and Dante Mondavi’s grandmother. A tiny vineyard not far from Charles Ranch. Drinkable, but better in two or three years. - James Suckling

Medium gold-colored, the 2021 Chardonnay Lady Marjorie is fresh and layered with Meyer lemon curd, ripe golden apple, and cardamom. Medium to full-bodied, it has a fresh mineral texture with saline earth and a balance of savory flowers of chamomile, rocky earth, and salted pineapple. It’s long on the palate with a good balance of richness and driving mineral tension. Drink 2024-2034. - Jeb Dunnuck

The 2021 Chardonnay Lady Marjorie is laced with brilliant mineral and savory notes. Dried pear, lemon peel, chamomile, dried flowers and spice are front and center. This tightly wound Chardonnay is full of intensity, in a style that is more about energy than fruit. The 2021 needs time, as it is incredibly closed today. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
