Tim Atkin (TA) : 92 Points (2017)

Not quite as exciting as the 2015, but it had just been bottle when I tasted it in March 2018. Tight and focused, it has plenty of crunchy acidity, stylish oak and an elegant, stony, lemon butter-like finish. 2018-22. Alcohol: 13%

Robert Parker (RP) : 92 Points (2015)

The 2015 Estate Reserve Chardonnay has a lovely, quite powerful bouquet with discretely integrated oak, hints of smoked walnut and orange rind developing closely behind, keeping very Burgundy-like. The palate is well balanced with plenty of roundness on the entry. This lacquers the mouth with citrus fruit laced with orange zest and a touch of almond, fanning out gently on the finish to complete what is just a delicious Chardonnay that you will finish all too quickly.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 91 Points (2015)

A plump, rounded style, with crowd-pleasing pineapple, yellow apple and pear flavors that are creamy and lush in feel. Brioche and macadamia nut accents carry the finish. Drink now through 2019. 1,916 cases made.

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 90 Points (2015)

This leads with a powerful toasted-oak overlay to the ripe fruit tones of yellow melon, grilled apple and peach preserves. The mouthfeel is round and full, with a slightly pithy texture that lends some structure to the robust palate. Medium acidity keeps the richness in check, while a pleasant minty afterthought dances through the close. Drink now–2020.

James Suckling (JS) : 90 Points (2015)

Acacia and honeysuckle notes. Elegant and bright with a round texture and short finish.
