99 Points — James Suckling (05/2025)

This has the classic richness and depth of this noted vineyard, braced by vivid acidity for an elegant, soft and silky feel. It's difficult to imagine a better California chardonnay, as it combines great balance and freshness with creaminess, breadth, and length in the finish. Sliced pears, cream, and hints of mangoes, green apples, butter, and lemon curd.
