wine score
93 points Wine Enthusiast
Creamy, lush and opulent in style, this exuberant white is also moderate in acidity—a nod to freshness that lasts in the glass. Peach, melon and brioche combine around supple tannin and a hint of white flower and clove.
90 points Wine Advocate
Barrel fermented, the 2017 Chardonnay gives up notions of brioche, apple pie, peach cobbler and cedar with wafts of beeswax and cashews. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is wonderfully creamy with a buttery undercurrent complementing the apple and stone fruit layers, finishing long and toasty.
92 points James Suckling
Very ripe and fruity with dried-apple and lemon aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, dense and flavorful. Toasted oak. Drink now.Profile
