"The 2020 WA State Chardonnay show beautiful range and finesse from this warm vintage. Baking-spice-laced challah bread and banana tones meld with a rich mouthfeel and really gratifying length on the palate. The veil of tension holds everything brilliantly in place. Enjoy this beautiful wine over the next seven years.- Owen Borgreen"

"A grassy nose with notes of baked pear, meyer lemon and matchstick. Medium-to full-bodied with lovely, stony-mineral character. Good weight. Straw at the finish. Drink now."

"This wine's toast, pumpkin spice and peach aromas are followed by lithe, textured stone fruit flavors. It hits a lot of high marks and shows beautiful balance."

"Aged in French oak, 40% new, the rest one and two years old. Pale, bright yellow. Subtle spicy and floral notes add interest to the peach and lemon aromas. Supple and silky in the mouth, with a dry lemon zest edge and faintly saline minerality combining to give this wine a sappy, food-friendly character. Finishes dry and firm. - Stephen Tanzer"

"Abeja’s 2013 Chardonnay offers clean, crisp notes of apple blossom, white flowers, citrus and brioche. Fermented and aged in barrel (40% new), it has a solid mix of richness and freshness, is beautifully balanced, and will drink nicely for 2-3 years. - Jeb Dunnuck"

"Another classic vintage of Abeja Chardonnay, this is a memorable style that’s built around yummy barrel flavors of toast and caramel, with notes of stone fruits. The three vineyard sources—Celilo, Conner Lee, and French Creek—form a perfect crescent across the state and capture the essence of three quite different AVAs. It has lovely texture and length, with… - P.G."

"Abeja Chardonnays are as certain to hit their target as a Kobe Bryant slam dunk, and the style remains consistent vintage after vintage. Spicy, nutty, based around stone fruits and melon, they do not shy away from the toasty flavors that derive from barrel fermentation in 40% new French oak. The underlying minerality and well-balanced acidity mark this as… — P.G."
