John Gilman - View From the Cellar, 94

“94 rating. Another absolutely stellar wine in the making, which has been the case with virtually every bottling I have tasted from the winery ... On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and rock solid at the core ....”

Nick Stock, 96

“96 rating ... a spectrum of very pure yellow citrus fruit to peach and pastry, as well as more savory, stony notes. The palate has convincing concentration … Drink over the next six years.”

International Wine Report, 95

“… another sensational showing … This absolutely gorgeous Chardonnay begins to impress with bright aromatics of white pear, lemon blossoms, flint, saline minerals and a touch of toasted hazelnut that all burst from the glass. The mouthfeel is simply stunning, displaying beautiful balance, with wonderful acidity and revealing an enticing saline mineral streak … While this is nothing short of absolutely stunning today, it should go on to offer enjoyment for well over a decade.”

John Gilman - View From the Cellar, 94

“… another absolutely stellar wine in the making … offers up a beautiful bouquet of apple, pear, a touch of iodine, a complex base of soil tones, fruit blossoms and just a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with a superb girdle of acidity, great focus and grip and a long, nascently complex and very, very promising finish. Like the 2017, this … should be decanted for thirty minutes if one is inclined to drink it now. It will age long and gracefully and is a very classy bottle … 2021-2040+”

Nick Stock, 96

“This shows a very complete and complex style with a spectrum of very pure yellow citrus fruit to peach and pastry, as well as more savory, stony notes. The palate has convincing concentration and a fleshy build that carries ripe peachy flavors, as well as citrus. The oak is so well integrated. Drink over the next six years.”

Paul Gregutt - Wine Enthusiast, 94

“Riper and even juicier than the 2017 vintage, this retains the same creamy richness, with amped up fruit that runs from pear to peach to apricot and papaya. A blend of Wente and Dijon clones from two different vineyards, this incorporates luscious barrel flavors of caramel and toffee, with a lick of mocha trailing out the finish.”
