Miner Family Winery Wild Yeast Chardonnay 2023 (750ml) *
Product price
$68.99
Description
Fermenting with wild, indigenous yeast rather than a cultured strain tends to build complexity and a savory undercurrent, and that choice shapes this Napa Valley Chardonnay from Miner Family Winery. The 2023 sits in a riper, more generous California style without tipping into heaviness, a medium- to full-bodied white with well-integrated oak and enough balance to keep it fresh.
The nose leans tropical, mango, peach, and pineapple, alongside stone fruit and hints of toasted bread. There's a honeyed ripeness here, plus spicy, savory nuances that give it depth and a layered feel on the palate. It finishes clean, with that pineapple note carrying through. Enjoy it now and over the next several years.

Expert Reviews
Miner's 2023 Chardonnay Wild Yeast is pretty tropical-leaning stuff, with scents of mango, peach and pineapple. It's medium- to full-bodied, honeyed and ripe but not overly rich or weighty, with a clean, pineapple-laden finish. Drink it over the next several years. (Wine Advocate, October 2025)
A much more interesting, complex wine offering stone fruits, toasted bread, and spicy, savory nuances, the 2023 Chardonnay Wild Yeast is medium-bodied and has a layered mouthfeel, nicely integrated oak, and a good finish. It's a richer styled, balanced, solid Chardonnay that has plenty to love. Drink 2025-2028. (Jeb Dunnuck, December 2025)
