Score 97-99/100 · Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Jan 2021
The 2019 Chardonnay Hudson (a tank sample) delivers a full-on exotic nose of tropical fruits, pineapple upside-down cake, beeswax and spiced pears with an undercurrent of cashews and brioche plus a touch of yuzu zest. Full-bodied, the palate is satisfyingly savory and multilayered, with tons of mineral sparks accenting the opulent fruit, and the long, decadent finish is beautifully offset by racy freshness.
