93 points James Suckling: "This has a very impressive feel with a fresh array of citrus and some gently spicy pastry aromas, too. The palate has a long, fresh and composed feel with such fine, fresh peaches and pears. Drink or hold. (1/30/20)"

92 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "[$45 list] The 2017 Chardonnay Yamhill-Carlton has a wonderfully open, inviting nose of honey-drizzled hazelnuts, apple pie, clotted cream, baked peaches, allspice and crushed stone. The medium-bodied palate is creamy textured and savory in character with juicy acidity and a long, textured finish. This will benefit from one more year in bottle. 2,303 cases produced. Drink: 2020-2025. (Apr 2020)"

92 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "[$45 list] Pale yellow. Fresh pear, melon and lemon curd aromas are complemented by hints of white flowers, vanilla and buttered toast. Fleshy and seamless in the mouth, offering juicy citrus and orchard fruit flavors that tighten up and pick up a minerally nuance with aeration. Finishes with firm grip, a repeating floral note and strong, spicy persistence. Drink: 2021-2027. (Sep 2020)"

91 points Wine Spectator: "[$45 list] Opens with steely elegance and gently expands and fleshes out, featuring refined apple, spiced pear and mineral flavors that glide on a vibrant finish. Drink now through 2021. (3/31/20)"
