James Suckling: 94 Points
Apricots, sliced apples, praline, cream and hazelnuts on the nose. Full-bodied with fresh acidity and a layered, nutty palate. Lively and vivid. Aged mostly in cask. Very Burgundian at the end with the tangy acidity. This will age really well.
Vinous: 94 Points
The 2021 Chardonnay Quartz Creek Vineyard is fabulous and also a step up from the 2020 tasted alongside it. Effusive floral top notes open first. Silky and creamy on the palate,with gorgeous finesse, the 2021 is, first and foremost, a wine of harmony. Low yields created by drought and a cool, long growing season yielded an especially intense young Chardonnay.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
Cool and almost mentholated on the nose, with concentrated lime essence, the 2021 Chardonnay Quartz Creek Vineyard is the only Chardonnay currently made by Heitz, using fruit from this Burgess-owned vineyard in Oak Knoll. It's medium-bodied, linear in feel and quite tight, with a long, taut finish.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
An impressively supple, creamy texture establishes the groundwork for this lovely, elegant wine, with flavors of toasted and salted cashew, lemon curd and pear pastry. Offers a hint of crushed rocks on the finish.
