Critics Ratings
'Pale bright yellow. Sexy, downright Burgundian aromas of stone fruits, hazelnut and musky lees. Rich, suave and fairly dry, with a subtle saline quality and a restrained sweetness to its flavors of peach, spices, licorice and nutty oak. The subtle wood tones harmonize nicely with this classy chardonnay, which finishes with terrific supple persistence.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91/100 (Mar 2011)
'Bright and racy, with pineapple and melon fruit offset by fresh acidity and a vibrant, minerally spine. Judicious toast frames the finish. Has nice purity. Drink now through 2008.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 90/100
