94+ points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2023 Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard is elegant and energetic. It has expressive aromas of quince, hazelnut, honey, toasted meringue and top notes of lemon peel. The medium-bodied palate pairs concentrated, honey-nut flavors with racy acidity, and it has a very long, layered finish. It will benefit from several years in the cellar. Drink: 2028-2040.

94 points Antonio Galloni (VInous): "The 2023 Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard is a classy, elegant wine. Apricot, chalk, graphite and dried herbs confer a decidedly savory flair to this layered, super-expressive Chardonnay. Time in the glass brings out brisk acids and compelling brightness to round things out. This is an especially fine McCrea. As always, the vineyard-designate bottling emerges from sections of the vineyard planted on white ash. These days, winemaker Jason Kesner prefers to pick a bit earlier than in the past. That is especially evident in the McCrea in 2023. Drink: 2026-2033. (Jan 2025)"
