2021 CHARDONNAY, FELIZ

ANDERSON VALLEY ESTATE

“Pale yellow green in color. The nose is delicate and vibrant and dancing between floral (jasmine, honeysuckle), just ripe white fruit (apricot, pear) and gentle spice notes (clove). It is saline and vivacious. The palate combines freshness and density with an impression of weightlessness and outstanding precision. The wine leaves you with penetrating flavors of grapefruit zest and salinity that last forever. Grace in the glass.” – Stéphane Vivier

 
96 Points, James Suckling

“This is really classy, with sliced cooked apple, pie crust, meringue, minerals and some pear skin. Medium-bodied with lots of flint and matchsticks and a racy finish of lemons, limes and apples. Drink or hold.” — James Suckling

93 Points, Wine Enthusiast

“This offering is fresh and zesty, with aromas of yellow apple, pear, white grapefruit, florals and notes of lemon-vanilla cream on the nose. Flavors on the palate are Bosc pear, yellow plum, quince and cinnamon. Mineral layered throughout, it offers a long, dry and mouthwatering finish. Pair with soft scrambled eggs and caviar.” — T.P.

94 Points, VinePair, 30 Best Chardonnays of 2025

“Long Meadow Ranch’s winemaker Stéphane Vivier calls this wine “chiseled yet precise,” and we couldn’t agree more. It has calm notes of sweet citrus, a hint of ginger, and sliced apples drizzled with honey. The mouthfeel is soft and refreshing with a good amount of oak that is expertly restrained, allowing the wine to fully express itself on the palate. Active acidity holds everything in place and gives a long, welcome finish.”

GROWING SEASON

2021 will be remembered as an extreme vintage and certainly considered as one of the best of recent memories. Pronounced drought conditions resulting in lower yields were combined with mild Spring and Summer conditions. It allowed the fruit to ripened slowly and the dry weather provided unique concentration of aromas and flavors, all the while keeping the acidities high. Perfectly balanced the wines are a true glimpse of this unique vintage, concentrated and lively at the same time.
