JEB DUNNUCK 93+ POINTS - "The 2023 Chardonnay Russian River Valley has bright notes of salted lime, fresh pineapple, flinty wet stones, green apples, and excellent lifted energy right out of the gate. The palate has a pure, ripe core, with a refreshing, cool climate feel, and it’s long and drinkable now or over the coming 8-10 years. I absolutely love this wine for its freshness and snappy feel."
ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 93 POINTS - "The 2023 Chardonnay is scented of apricot, honey, brioche, almonds and flint. The medium-bodied palate offers layers of ripe, gently honeyed fruit. It balances a silky, gently mouth-coating texture with vibrant, shimmery acidity, and it has a long, flavorful finish. 7,175 cases were made."
ANTONIO GALLONI 92 POINTS - "The 2023 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley) offers a compelling mix of Russian River exuberance and the energy of this cool, late-ripening year. Hints of apricot, dried flowers, orange, jasmine and light tropical notes fill out the layers effortlessly."
WINE SPECTATOR 92 POINTS - "Plush and juicy, with flavors of grilled peach, pineapple and citrus that are ripe and generous, plus a thread of marmalade and orange blossoms for complexity. Finds plenty of harmony on the finish, where notes of cardamom and wild fennel linger. Drink now. 7,175 cases made."
