95 Decanter – Powerfully ripe yet racy and thrilling with acidity, this deeply concentrated Chardonnay exhibits a masterful balance of pure, persistent citrus and orchard fruit against a deeply earthen, savoury core of minerality. While fermented and aged primarily in new French oak, its oak expressions are subtle and smoky, revealing more richness and depth of texture on the palate. A stunning expression of coastal, high-altitude California Chardonnay that should develop even more complexity in the decade to come.
93 Wine Spectator – Vibrant and intense, with roasted nut and toasted spice overtones to the plush peach, lemon curd and marmalade notes. Smooth and supple, but there’s an elegant thread of acidity weaving in and out, plus a hint of rooibos tea on the finish.
