96 Points Jeb Dunnuck
Pouring a youthful yellow/green-tinged hue, the 2023 Chardonnay Purrington Rued Vineyard is ripe on the nose with highly expressive notes of salted pineapple, golden peaches, smoky wet stones, and ripe citrus. The palate is full-bodied, with a rounded texture, even acidity, and a mouthwatering finish. It’s decadent but reigned in and elegant in this vintage.
 
94 Points Vinous
 The 2023 Chardonnay Purrington Rued Vineyard delivers all the aromatic intensity typical of this clone. Passion fruit, mint, white flowers, green pear and jasmine are all beautifully lifted. Readers will find a Chardonnay of undeniable finesse, class and nuance. Strong, petrol-like Riesling inflections punctuate the close.
 
93 Points Wine Spectator
Fresh Meyer lemon, pineapple and apricot pastry flavors are bold and generous on a juicy, fleshy frame. Details of ginger tea, kumquat marmalade and lemon oil add interest, and the vibrant acidity adds plenty of energy. The momentum leads to the long, expressive finish.
