94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2016 Chardonnay Le Souvenir Sierra Madre Vineyard is a terrific example of Santa Maria Chardonnay. Lemon peel, white flowers and mint are all finely sketched. Understated and delicate, with striking textural finesse, the 2016 has so much to offer. The bright, chiseled style is undeniably appealing. There is so much to like here. Drink: 2018-2026. (Sep 2018)"
94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "From a great site in the Santa Maria Valley, which is a cool region, the 2016 Chardonnay le Souvenir Sierra Madre Vineyard has slightly more tropical notes with hints of papaya, lemon curd, poached pear, and spice all emerging from the glass. It's a rounded, nicely concentrated, supple Chardonnay that has good acidity and freshness yet the more forward, charming nature of the 2016 vintage front and center. Brought up in 60% new French oak, drink it any time over the coming 7-8 years. Drink: 2018-2026. (10/15/18)"
