Its Origins
"We created Harken Chardonnay because we missed that rich, oaky taste of Chardonnays gone by. At some point, someone decided that those great toasty notes and buttery finish went out of style. We think that’s crazy. So we brought it back." Only the finest grapes from Arroyo Seco AVA of Salinas Valley, California, make their way into Harken Wines. We find a bunch of these dazzling grapes in the . The unique features of this small but diverse grape-growing paradise create a magical blend of depth and character. With the Santa Lucia Mountains rising to the west and Monterey Bay to the north, Salinas Valley is nestled in a coveted area of ideal climate and growing conditions. Chardonnay, the way Chardonnay should be with the classic California taste. That taste that can’t be faked.
What The Critics Say
94/100 Sam Kim (2021 vintage)
"Richly opulent and gorgeously expressed, the wine shows grilled stone fruit, pineapple, vanilla and cedary oak characters with a lovely touch of butterscotch. The palate delivers succulent fruit intensity together with plush texture and creamy mouthfeel, finishing impressively long and satisfying."
