93 points Decanter: "The Sta Rita Hills Cuvée bottling rounds the edges of the vibrant Chardonnays from Racines with a lushness of ripe fruit and a creamy touch of oak—honeysuckle and lemon curd aromatics, with dried white wildflowers and fresh linen. Round sweet citrus on the palate is accented by fresh tarragon, a touch of toasted almond and a concentrated beeswax finish. Drinking Window: 2024-2032. (Oct 2024)"
92 points Wine Spectator: "[$50 list] Lemon sherbet, orange zest and lime flavors, plus a touch of Honeycrisp apple, all show good intensity, with mouthwatering acidity and pretty grace notes of lemon oregano and fennel pollen on the finish. Drink now. (2/10/25)"
91 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous)<: "The 2021 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills Cuvée is bright and beautifully focused. Citrus, white flowers, slate and white pepper are all beautifully delineated throughout. The clean, saline finish is a thing of beauty. The Cuvée is a blend from La Rinconanda, Wenzlau and Bentrock. I very much admire the energy here. Drink: 2023-2031. (Sep 2023)"
