95 points Wine Enthusiast: "An incredible showcase for the appellation, this combines grapes from the producer's estate Westside Farms with Dutton, Woolsey Road and Rochioli Allen, among others. Together it is broadly floral, earthy and richly integrated, with depth and complexity, the acidity vibrantly fresh. Alcohol 14.5%. (Jul 2021)"
93 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2018 Chardonnay Russian River Valley has aromas of citrus peel, quince and almonds with a unique, super-spicy undercurrent. The medium-bodied palate offers intense, ripe fruits in a seamless, silky package, and it finishes long and lush. Drink: 2021-2026. (Jun 2021)"
92 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2018 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley) is another stellar wine in this range. It offers up an exotic mélange of apricot, matchstick, butter and spice, all in a juicy style that captures the essence of the Russian River Valley. The 2018 is quite forward, yet it has plenty of energy and persistence too. Drink: 2022-2028. (Jan 2021)"
91 points Wine Spectator: "Fresh-cut apple and green pear flavors show savory richness. Minerally midpalate, with notes of lemongrass on the crunchy finish. Drink now through 2024. (7/31/21)"
