93 points/'Editors' Choice,' Wine Enthusiast: "Drouhin Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills Roserock vineyard is maturing nicely, as this rich, almost unctuous new Chardonnay demonstrates. Rippled with butterscotch around fruit flavors of apples and nectarines, this tasty bottle is buoyed with Meyer lemon acidity, and accented with whiffs of toasted hazelnuts. Alcohol 14.1%. (Oct 2020)"
93 points James Suckling: "Some attractive, fresh bread dough here with aromas of clotted cream, poached pears and almond milk. The palate has a smooth outer frame (full MLF here) with a fresh, fleshy core that has supple fruit texture. Drink now. (1/21/20)"
92 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2018 Chardonnay offers bright, fresh apple fruit with deeper, more savory bass notes of honeycomb, almonds and spice. The medium-bodied palate is super silky and bursts with tensile, mineral-laced fruits, expanding into a long, juicy and gently honeyed finish. Drink: 2020-2024. (Dec 2020)"
91 points Wine Spectator: "Steely and vibrant, with pinpoint notes of green apple and grapefruit and a trace of flint on the long, crisp finish. Drink now through 2022. (3/31/21)"
