Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard 'White Stones' Chardonnay 2022 Terra Gaie and a stylish presentation toppedThis is always minerally and incisive and very different from White Bones. This is more classic chardonnay, with lots of freshly squeezed lemons, wet stone, flint and seashells. Brisk acidity on a medium to full bodied palate. Tense and intense, but this is acid driven with a fine touch of salinity that lingers at the end. 97 Pts James Suckling
