Vinous: 90 Points
The 2022 Chardonnay Central Coast comes from a blend of Edna Valley, San Benito and Monterey sites. It's a rich, forward white with lots of richness but also a bracing structure. Toasted hazelnut, apricot, lemon zest, petrol and slate build in the glass, pressing onward through the voluptuous mouth-coating finish. It trails away quickly with a kiss of heat, but this is a solidly enjoyable appellations-level offering in a tough year.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
Generous pineapple, guava and lemony citrus notes are juicy and bright in this version, with plenty of intensity. Accents of lemon blossoms and candied orange peel linger, with a hint of white tea. Drink now.
