91 points Wine Enthusiast: "This is the producer's cooler-climate offering of the variety—a steely, classically structured wine that has crisp well-defined apple, melon and pear. Alcohol 14.5%. (Jul 2019)"
90 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate): "[$35 list] The 2016 Chardonnay Karia is scented of green apples, lemons and orange blossom with a waft of peach kernels and lightly browned toast. The medium to full-bodied palate is understated and well poised, with satiny texture and good expression. Drink: 2018-2020. (Jan 2018)"
Producer notes: "This graceful Chardonnay has inviting aromas of pear, white peach and honeysuckle. Medium bodied, this wine has a lovely texture and delicate ripe fruit notes with hints of minerality and lemon zest on the finish. Food Pairing: Grilled chicken with lemon aioli, grilled salmon with a cucumber, tomato and fresh dill salsa or roast chicken breast stuffed with spinach and feta cheese. Fermentation: 86% barrel, 14% stainless steel tank; 88% malolactic. Alcohol 14.5%."
