Gary Farrell Description
Very attractive citrus notes of lemon rind and grapefruit initially present on the nose, followed by crisp nectarine, honeydew melon, pressed mint leaves and lemongrass. There is plenty to love here for even the non-Chardonnay-lover. Fresh, crisp flavors of Meyer lemon and lime zest create a bright entry that beautifully complements the more opulent flavors of honey, fresh apricot and peach tartlet. The palate is very energetic and fresh with an underlying layer of acidity and loads of fleshy texture.
James Suckling: 93 Points
Fruity and creamy chardonnay with notes of mangoes, candied lemons, honeysuckle and pralines. Medium- to full-bodied with vivid acidity that gives it backbone and highlights its minerality. Balanced and fresh. Drink or hold.
Wine Enthusiast: 90 Points
The nose of this wine displays a touch of reduction, alongside some lively aromas of tropical citrus and pineapple. On the palate, flavors of fresh apple, orange skin and sweet cinnamon show in a medium-bodied frame. Drink this with halibut, rockfish or roasted chicken.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
Bold and aromatic, with honeysuckle, toasted brioche and grilled pineapple on a full body, with firm acidity framing the accents of candied ginger, toffee, ripe, salted melon and peach. Notes of flint and smoke follow through on the finish, where the acidity leaves a fresh impression. Drink now.
