91 points and Two Stars from the Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine: "Deep themes of ripe apples set this winning wine firmly on the varietal track, but its complementary appointment of rich oak, sweet lemons and lees is what moves it to the head of the class. Both full-bodied and carefully balanced with a long finish and a certain spring in its step, this is one whose layered complexity invites drinking now but whose fine structure and depth ensure further improvement." (05/08) 90 points Wine Spectator: "Intense, rich, focused and concentrated, with ripe, zesty, full-bodied pear, citrus, melon and nectarine, ending with fresh, lively acidity. Drink now through 2011. 1,500 cases made." (06/08) 90 points Wine Enthusiast: "Lots of richness in this dry, minerally Chardonnay. It has forward flavors of peaches, pears, baked green apples and flint, while lots of new oak contributes honey and caramel notes." (08/08)
