95-97 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "A tank sample, the 2021 Chardonnay Cuvée Anne has beautiful aromas of apple pie, quince and elderflower with streaks of matchstick and roasted almonds. The light-bodied palate has a quietly intense core of honeyed fruit, tangy acidity, and a touch of textural presence lengthens the mineral-driven finish. Tremendously energetic, it's shaping up to be an age-worthy Chardonnay! (Mar 2023)"
94 points Decanter: "A whimsically light and airy Chardonnay, a barrel selection across many of their favourite Willamette Valley sites. Aromas of white flowers, bee pollen and petrichor are accented with notes of cut green apple and peach skin. The palate is saline driven, with a note of smoky flint and delivers a depth of fruit from cut early-season pear and apricot skin. Drinking window 2023-2031 (May 2023)."
94 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "A ripe youthful yellow hue, the 2021 Chardonnay Cuvee Anne is once again an outstanding entry to the range of Chardonnay, where Ken Pahlow takes things to the highest level. Loads of flint, ripe apples, vibrant citrus, and wet stones are amplified in a way not many others can achieve. Medium-bodied, with outstanding, balanced, ripe fruit on the palate, it has a silky texture and energetic acidity that is persistent and lasting on the palate along with clean lift. This is one of the best if not the best calling card for Oregon Chardonnay at this price point you can find. Drink 2023-2030. (Sep 2023)."
