... It offers rocking notes of ripe orchard fruits, honeysuckle, orange blossom and vanilla cream on the nose. These carry to a medium to full-boded Chardonnay that has terrific concentration, a layered, silky and vibrant texture and a big finish. Still youthful and vibrant, if you every wanted to push the ageability of California Chardonnay, this would the one to do it with. Enjoy this beauty anytime over the coming two decades. eRobertParker.com

A truly exceptional Chard drinking at peak. Rich, long, and layered. A nice, complete picture wine. Oaky without sticking out, boozy without feeling hot. Deep lemon in the glass. Vanilla, faint honey, preserved lemons, and slight tropics, melons, and stones. Get at this in the next year or so.

Nice Chardonnay, but a little petroly and sweet. Great mix of white fruit flavors and an elegant nose of pear and tropical fruit.
