JEB DUNNUCK 98 POINTS - "Coming from the Dundee Hills, Chris Mazepink is producing some of the region’s most impressive Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from a property he purchased and planted himself in 2013. Nestled adjacent to Domaine Drouhin and Archery Summit, where he previously served as winemaker, the site was once a walnut orchard. Today, he farms the vineyard organically and biodynamically, with a strong commitment to preserving the land’s natural biodiversity."
"The 2024 Chardonnay Apple Field Vineyard is a bright yellow color and shows greater aromatic depth, with flinty wet stone, petrichor, golden apple, bright acidity, white peach, and lime citrus oils. From a site planted in 2016 from a suitcase selection from Burgundy, the wine holds acidity beautifully and reminds me of Meursault. It has excellent density, richness, and balance. Drink 2026-2040."
