94 points Virginie Boone (Wine Enthusiast): "Crisp, complex and fresh in acidity, this wine is bold and beautifully crafted, with accents of anise, pear and orange blossom. The oak is supportive without being intrusive, adding weight and structure along with a lasting twist of clove and nutmeg. (Aug/Sep 2022)"

Producer notes: "Yellow apple and pear highlight the aromatics of this old-vine Chardonnay vineyard. Hints of lemon curd belie the fruit along with a subtle starfruit aromatic. Fresh ground nutmeg and allspice from the modest oak usage support the fruit elements and give the wine a little counterpoint to the treble of the fruit tones. The yellow apple aromas carry through to the palate and are wrapped up in nice acidity and excellent tannin structure. A powdery, mineral finish of crushed rocks accents the finish and is nicely punctuated. Barrel aged 13 months in 21% new, 22% 1-year, 28% 2-year and 29% 3+ year oak. Optimal Drinking Window: 2023-2030. Alcohol 14.5%."
