CHEV was founded by Michael and Sarah Browne. Michael, of course, was one of the founders of Kosta Browne almost 25 years ago. Chev focuses on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The name CHEV is imspired by Michael’s love of old school workmanship, from classic cars to vintage clocks.
Golden in color. 14.3% ABV. Beautiful nose of tropical fruits, lemon oil, toast and flowers. Full bodied with exquisite acidity. Incredibly rich and opulent. Pear, papaya, Meyer lemon and vanilla creme brulee on the palate. Tremendous length on the finish. From memory the best domestic Chardonnay I have had this year. Just a masterpiece. Best over the next several years.
My rating: 96 points.
