Acclaim
“The 2015 Chardonnay offers lovely depth and creaminess, along with expressive varietal notes, all of which make it an excellent choice for drinking over the next year or two. Pastry, butter and baked apple are nicely delineated in this refreshing, mid-weight Chardonnay.”
— Vinous, May 2016
“Light-bodied and stony, with lively acidity and hints of golden apple, grated ginger and lemon zest.
— Wine Spectator, Dec 2016
