Wine Spectator (WS) : 94 Points (2021)

Rich and toasty up front, with grilled orange, toasted cumin, nectarine and honeycomb notes, plus dried ginger and cardamom. Shows a touch of salted toffee to complement peach preserves, dried pineapple and Honeycrisp apple. Juicy finish. Drink now.

Robert Parker (RP) : 92 Points (2021)

The 2021 Chardonnay Estate Monte Bello Vineyard was aged in 60% American and 40% French oak for 15 months. The nose is spry and lively, with matchstick, lemon curd and white flower aromas. The palate combines a polished richness with refreshing zest, concluding with a clean finish and decent length. This is a floral and vibrant introductory expression of the Monte Bello site.

Jeb Dunnuck (JD) : 94 Points (2020)

Coming from the estate vineyard on the eastern side of the Santa Cruz Mountains, the 2020 Chardonnay Estate has a beautiful nose of honeyed lemon blossom, crushed stone, toasty oak, and a touch of reductive-like minerality. This carries to a brilliantly balanced, medium-bodied Chardonnay with a round, layered mouthfeel, good acidity, and a focused style that should age gracefully for 7-8 years, if not longer (JD). (8/2022)

James Suckling (JS) : 93 Points (2020)

A very creamy textured white with sliced cooked apple, crushed stones and chalk. Some burnt lime, too. It's medium- to full-bodied with a delicious finish. (9/2022)

Wines & Spirits (W&S) : 94 Points (2019)

Mostly from vines planted in the 1970s at parcels since incorporated into the Monte Bello Estate, this wine ferments spontaneously in oak barrels (mostly American, ranging from one to five years old). This vintage is a selection of ten out of 12 parcels, grown over greenstone (altered basalt) and decomposing limestone at the former Rouston and Klein vineyards, lower-elevation sites at the estate. It’s a pale chardonnay with lemon and ginger scents, the tight, brisk structure nodding to the Pacific, not only for the climate but also for the uplifted seabed soils above the San Andreas fault. Within that structure, the wine feels lush and juicy, cool and savory, delicious with scallop and porcini risotto. (JG) (10/2021)

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 92 Points (2019)

There's a flinty tone of struck stone and chiseled granite on the nose of this bottling, which also shows a singed lemon fragrance on the nose. There's a woody quality to the sip, giving some depth to the seared lime-peel, macadamia-nut and sprinkled sea-salt flavors. (MK) (9/2021)

Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 92 Points (2019)

The 2019 Chardonnay Estate is super-elegant and precise. Scents of tangerine oil, mint, apricot and chamomile all grace this lithe, wonderfully expressive Chardonnay. Bright acids and a very slight touch of reduction frame the close. The Estate is made for near and medium-term drinking. (AG) (3/2022)

Ce Geyserville impressionne par son velouté, son aspect satiné et sa texture. Probablement l’un des meilleurs Zinfandel de Californie !

Lytton Springs est un vin très différent de Geyserville. C’est un vin de grande structure et finesse avec un beau parfum envoutant et la structure pour durer 15 bonnes années.
