White Walnut Estate "Terrarossa Vineyard" Chardonnay 2024

Jeb Dunnuck : 98 Points

(8/17/2026) This is the first vintage of this wine, coming from vines originally planted to Pinot Noir in 2008 before being grafted over to Chardonnay in 2023. The 2024 Chardonnay Terrarossa Vineyard already shows tremendous floral complexity with jasmine, lemon verbena, natural acidity, old-vine character, layered toast, and remarkable depth. It expands beautifully across the palate, offering baked apple, salinity, mouthwatering freshness, and pinpoint focus through the finish. Drink 2026-2040.

James Suckling : 97 Points

(7/10/2026) A pure, delicious, medium-bodied wine with lovely layers of spice, citrus and pear-blossom aromas. Fresh acidity complements a pleasing round texture that dances across the palate, carrying flavors of yuzu, crisp pear and subtle spices through a long, mouthwatering finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

International Wine Report : 96 Points

(8/2026) Displaying a radiant lemon-gold core with a luminous, glowing rim, the 2024 White Walnut Terra Rosa Chardonnay represents an impressive inaugural bottling from this site perched at 900 feet of elevation in the Dundee Hills. Sourced from vines planted in 2008 that were field-grafted entirely to heirloom and suitcase clones, the wine opens with lifted aromatics of bright yellow peach and crisp green apple intertwined with lemongrass, dusty lemony herbs, and a subtle touch of thyme. On the palate, it unfolds as a full-bodied white balanced by a driving streak of energetic, lemony acidity. The depth of fruit and vibrant botanical complexity carry through to a long, beautifully articulated finish. About 83 cases were produced. Highly recommended. Drink 2026 - 2036.
