94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "Soft, floral and lifted, the 2012 Chardonnay Chloe Ritchie Vineyard is all about understatement and class. Nothing in particular stands out; rather it is the wine's exceptional balance that is front and center. Soft, nuanced and wonderfully expressive in the glass, the 2012 is a winner. White peach, pear, white flowers and mint are laced into the soft, inviting finish. Drink: 2015-2020. (Jan 2015)"
92 points and 'Very highly recommended,' California Grapevine: "Medium-light to medium golden yellow; attractive, forward, apple, stone fruit, and mandarin orange aroma with hints of brioche, ginger, and lemon curd; medium to medium-full body; rich, fleshy, slightly viscous, apple, citrus, and stone fruit flavors with bright acidity and a slight creaminess in the mouthfeel; lingering aftertaste. 14.2% alcohol; 1,000 cases; 100% barrel fermentated; 100% malolactic fermentation; released September 2014. (Feb 2015)"
92 points Connoisseurs' Guide: "Yet another outstanding effort in DuMOL's 2012 Chardonnay portfolio, this time from the storied Kent Ritchie Vineyard, the "chloe" is a precise, keenly focused working that impresses for both its richness and its great energy. It is firm, full-bodied and exceptionally well-balanced with a light trim of toast to its very pure fruit, and, while deep and expressive, it is still on the tight side in structure. It is a wine that deserves a special place in the cellars, and it is certain to make converts of those skeptics who doubt Chardonnay's potential to age. (Jan 2015)"
