"...distinguished in this range by its creamy, enveloping personality. Dried flowers, mint, lemon confit, ripe pear, hazelnut and spice are some of the many notes that infuse this open-knit, expressive Chardonnay. All the elements meld together effortlessly in a delicious, inviting Chardonnay to savor over the next few years." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous

"Sandalwood, sea salt, singed lemon and creamy poached pome fruits show on the nose of this bottling. There is a great sizzle of acidity to the sip, where flavors of lemon juice and kumquat are framed in a chalky tension." ~ Wine Enthusiast 

"Layers of rich apple pastry and pear tart flavors are matched to luscious tropical fruit accents in this open-textured style. Offers a plush, spicy finish. Drink now through 2024." ~ Wine Spectator

"Restrained on the nose, the 2017 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard slowly reveals acacia, toast, lemon pith, white peach and red apple scents. Medium to full-bodied, it offers good intensity of honeyed/savory fruits and tangy acidity to carry the citrus-laced finish." ~ Wine Advocate
