97 points James Suckling: "Chunky and phenolic young wine with layers of tannins and dried apple with lemon zest and mineral character. It’s full and powerful like Grand Cru Burg, showing structure and intensity for long-term aging. Apple skin and citrus zest with pie crust. Better in 2025. (4/4/23)"
96 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "The 2021 Chardonnay Trenton Roadhouse pours a youthful golden hue and takes on a dramatically different profile in its notes of pineapple, fresh yellow flowers, and golden apple. Full-bodied, it has a rounded feel and great salinity, ripe salted pineapple, orange oil, and, and toasted spices. It’s long and round on the finish, which gives a hint of smoky incense. Drink this over the next 8-10 years. (7/21/23)"
95 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2021 Chardonnay Trenton Roadhouse is one of the more potent wines in this range. Fruit is pushed into the background in a Chardonnay that offers tons of mineral and savory intensity. Dried herbs, crushed flowers, rocks and chamomile lend nuance throughout. The Trenton Roadhouse is not an obvious wine, but it is still super-impressive. Here, too, the density of the vintage is very much apparent. Drink: 2024-2031. (Jan 2024)"
94+ points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Chardonnay Trenton Roadhouse has delicate scents of white apricot and fresh quince with soft smoky undertones from a hint of youthful reduction. The palate is light-bodied with a singular, silky texture, vibrant acidity, a perfumed core of peachy fruit and a very long finish. Drink: 2024-2034. (8/31/23)"
