"Love the salted butter, sliced cooked apple and oyster shell character. Hints of uncooked pie crust. Medium- to full-bodied. So much subtle and intense flavor with some nuttiness. Drink now or hold.”

"Bright, focused and energetic, with quince, pear tart, tangerine and Honeycrisp apple notes on a sleek and juicy frame. Accents of almond blossoms and crystalline and candied citrus peel join a note of salted, preserved lemon and a whiff of lemon balm on the long finish, never losing that sense of energy. Drink now. 462 cases made.—M.W.”

"Bright medium yellow/green-hued, the 2021 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast has a gorgeous, fresh nose of bright flint, delicate oak spice, crystalline starfruit, fresh white flowers, and lime blossoms. Medium-bodied, it’s lovely on the palate, with a fantastic chalky texture and a great finish that gently tapers away. It’s long on the palate and is going to offer a wide drinking window over the coming 8-10 years. - Audrey FRICK”

"Seamless, showing round lemon curd, ripe peach, melon and baked apple flavors, with hints of brown sugar, spices and salted butter. Before the flavors settle, this reveals a freshness from the mouthwatering acidity and savory minerality that turns up the intensity and focus, creating more verve on the long, expressive finish. Drink now. -M.W.”

"The salted butter, lemon bar, orange blossom and ripe melon flavors at the core of this white show generous purity and focus, with fresh acidity and with a hint of Himalayan salt on the long, expressive finish. The texture is smooth and lush, practically melting in your mouth. Drink now through 2031. -M.W.”

"Buttery, yet balanced by a lithe freshness and filled with apple pastry, pear tart and quince paste flavors, loaded with spicy richness. The finish turns unctuous and creamy, showing powerful toasty accents. Drink now through 2025. 100 cases made. - KM”

"The 2017 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast has intense, open-knit aromas of white peaches, quince paste, dried hay, almonds and honeycomb. It’s medium-bodied, concentrated and powerful, silky and fresh with a long finish and good balance of savory and yeasty touches accenting the fruit. - Erin Brooks”

"The 2017 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast) is a huge overachiever in its peer group. Bold, luscious and rich, the 2017 has so much to offer. Soft contours and plush fruit give the 2017 tons of immediacy. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint and ripe orchard fruit meld into the creamy, super-expressive finish. - Antonio Galloni”
