RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

Rich, elegant and buttery in texture, offering complex pear, fig, melon and honeysuckle flavors before fanning out nicely on the finish to reveal even greater depth and richness.

91Stephen Tanzer

Highly aromatic nose combines lime skin, flower blossom, oak spices and an exotic note of orange oil. Sweeter and fatter than the Carriere, but with sound acids giving the lush flavors a penetrating quality. Long and satisfying.

90Robert M. Parker Jr.

...gorgeous aromas and flavors of tropical fruits, lemon zest, pears, and minerals...authoritatively rich, complex, elegant Chardonnay is medium-bodied, well-delineated, and beautifully concentrated, with exotic floral and spice notes...
