Tasting Notes
Vinous 92
The 2013 Coddington Chardonnay has one of the most Burgundy-like aromatics of recent years, well defined with touches of smoke and granite. The balanced palate offers a saline entry, moderate acidity, hints of tangy marmalade and clementine and a nicely poised, lightly spiced finish. Very fine. Tasted at the Kumeu River Chardonnay vertical in London.
Anticipated maturity: 2019-2032

Tight, chalky for the future but with wonderful potential. Great depth. Beautifully sculpted.

Robert Parker 92
Struck flint and crushed stone, hints of pencil shavings and lime appear on the nose of the 2013 Coddington Chardonnay. Racy and lean on the palate, it shows less of the warm, “Coddington” character than most vintages.
Anticipated maturity: 2017-2030
