92-94 points Robert Parker: "The 1999 Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard...exhibits an intense liquid minerality, notes of white currants, a full-bodied personality with citrus oils and white flowers, and a remarkably well-delineated finish. Still tightly knit but concentrated and extremely Burgundian, it needs a couple of years of aging, and should last for a decade." (12/00) 92 points Wine Spectator: "Sleek, rich and polished, with pretty lemon custard, toasty oak, hazelnut and nectarine, all in tightly focused beam, offering great length and concentration. Drink now through 2006." (07/02) Stephen Tanzer writes: "Slightly hazy appearance. Aromas of tropical and dried fruits, marzipan, clove and nutmeg. Spicy and citric in the mouth, with mineral and lemon cream flavors framed by racy acidity. Finishes bright and persistent. In a distinctly Chablis-like style, and a bit skinny for a Kistler Chardonnay." (May/Jun 02)
