96 Points. Editor's Choice. Wine Enthusiast. Astonishingly rich, this is everything you want a Chardonnay to be. It’s fantastically concentrated in pineapple, guava, green apple, pear and lime fruits; it’s creamy and suave in lees influence; and it’s brisk in acidity, despite undergoing malolactic fermentation. The texture is honeyed, with a perfect touch of smoky, new French oak. The estate grapes come from the winery’s vineyard high up in the Vaca Mountains, east of the Silverado Trail.  - S.
