93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "[$60 list] One of the richer, honeyed wines in the range, the 2012 Chardonnay Damiana Vineyard wraps aroud the palate with superb texture. Almonds, honey, orange peel, butter, hazelnuts, sweet spices and savory herbs are layered into a Chassagne-like finish that is all about racy voluptuousness. Drink: 2014-2021. (Jul 2014)"
93 points Wine Enthusiast: "Mandarin orange Creamsicle, Cool Whip with vanilla bean and lemon-butter aromas show on the nose of this richer bottling from a winery that overlooks both Silicon Valley and the Pacific Ocean. Vanilla and butter also entertain the palate, but not in an overpowering way, boosted by cotton candy and a touch of dill-like herbs. Alcohol 14.5%. (Dec 2015)"
Producer notes: "This is often our most full bodied Single Vineyard Chardonnay and 2012 is no exception. For all it’s great richness, Damiana never comes off as fat or blowsy. Great natural acidity helps the wine keep its shape and leads to a deeply flavored palate. The stone fruited nature of 2012 beautifully highlights this classic vintage. Alcohol 14.5%."
