RATINGS

98-100The Wine Advocate

...compelling salted nuts and honeyed cake nose with a core of orange peel, pink grapefruit and rising bread dough... ...has a wonderful yeasty/toasty character coupled with the gregarious citrus notes, finishing long and layered...

97James Suckling

Sliced apples and cooked pears with lemon rind and cream. Lemons, too. Medium-to full-bodied, layered and creamy. Plenty of toasted coconut and hints of lime.

96Jeb Dunnuck

...a smoking effort. White peach, apple, white flowers, tangerine, and ample spice notes all emerge from this richer, concentrated, opulent hedonistic Chardonnay that has notable acidity and a pure, elegant finish.

95Vinous / IWC

...A host of bright saline notes add freshness to the natural richness of these old Wente Chardonnay clones.

91Wine Spectator

Fresh, ripe citrus, honeydew, green apple and lemony notes fold together, held back by a rawness in texture that should ease with time.
