Score 92/100 · Drink 2020-2027, Matthew Luczy, Wine Advocate, Apr 2024

An exceptionally floral and fragrant vintage of this wine, the 2018 Alesia Chardonnay Anderson Valley beams from the glass with honeysuckle, white blossom and honeyed orchard fruit aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with great finesse, leading to a bright, chalky, citrus-tinged finish.

Starting with the 2018 Chardonnay Anderson Valley Alesia from the value-priced lineup from Rhys, it offers a vivid gold hue as well as bright, Chablis-like notes of lemon curd, salty, chalky minerality, crushed citrus, and a kiss of sappy flowers. These carry to a more medium-bodied Chardonnay that shows more sweet fruit and texture than you'd expect from the nose, and it's a charming, fleshy, ready to go beauty to enjoy over the coming 2-4 years.
