Decanter (DCT) : 92 Points (2017)

Intense, complex peach, apple and grapefruit on a creamy, leesy palate. Sinewy and long with great integration of fruit weight, alcohol and oak – fermented and aged on lees in barrels (25% new) for a year. (TG) (12/2018)

Wine Spectator (WS) : 90 Points (2016)

Very enticing, with yellow apple, shortbread, macadamia nut and lemon curd flavors carried by fresh acidity and backed by judicious toast on the finish. Drink now through 2019. 3,500 cases made.

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 91 Points (2015)

A gorgeous bouquet of apple skin, grilled pineapple, beeswax and a touch of baking spice sets the stage in this easy-to-like wine. The medium-weight body offers a superb balance of richness and freshness, with ripe, spicy fruit tones that harmonize with bright, lingering acidity, resulting in a fine overall texture. Drink now–2021.

Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 91 Points (2015)

Palish bright yellow. Fresh peach, ginger, quinine and nutty vanillin oak aromas are complicated by leesy nuances and aromatic esters. Plush flavors of stone and citrus fruits, marzipan and savory minerals convey an almost exotic ripeness. Boasts lovely glyceral smoothness without any sacrifice of energy or shape. Finishes tactile and long, with lingering stone fruits. Always a gift at its moderate price, this Chardonnay is especially rich and seamless in 2015. (ST) (5/2017)

Robert Parker (RP) : 90 Points (2015)

From purchased fruit, the 2015 Chardonnay is matured in 300-liter barrels with three liters of lees added to each (25% new oak). It has a classic, powerful, generous bouquet with tropical fruit (guava and dried pineapple) that manages to regain satisfactory freshness. The palate is fresh on the entry with crisp acidity, just a hint of lychee rounded off with a pleasant saline note right on the finish. This is a well-made Chardonnay to drink now and over the next 4-5 years.
