91 POINTS - JAMES SUCKLING
A generous, creamy and supple Sonoma chardonnay. Medium-bodied with volume and texture. Round, with aromas of ripe pears, baked peaches, brioche and sweet spices. Satisfying finish.
90 POINTS - TERROIRIST
The palate shows rich texture and racy acidity, making for a juicy but lip-smacking Chard with flavors of apricot and yellow apple.
92 POINTS - WINE ENTHUSIAST
Savory and dramatic. The palate gives flavors of dried black cherry, shiitake, black tea and salted caramel.

90 POINTS - WINE ENTHUSIAST
Nicely ripe fruit...red cherries, cherry pie and a slight cranberry slant keep the flavors interesting.
90 POINTS - TERROIRIST
Such a fresh, floral nose with tangy red plums, wild raspberries, bright strawberries...a lovely, balanced wine, with flavors of zesty cranberry relish and juicy black cherries.
